Birth of Boxwoods






The boxwoods at the Boccelli Garden were hatching from out of their shells today. 

Happy New Year!!

  4. I never thought of it that way, even though the few times it has snowed my 21 years in Abq, it did look like the plants are emerging from something. But your's in a perfect egg-shaped form is even more amazing. My pair of potted boxwoods had a few bits of snow on them at dawn, so not the same effect...

    1. I have removed the snow from my boxwoods many times. It never cracked in half like this before. We had 2 snows back-to-back. The first produced a hard crust and the second was fluffier and created the perfect egg storm. Have a Happy 2013!

  7. How appropriate at the birth of a new year, Michael! What could be better than a bunch of hatching boxwoods to ring in the new? Wishing you many new garden paths to explore in 2013! Cheers!~ Joe

  8. That's a little creepy, Michael. Have you alerted the military? Happy New Year to you. Dave

    1. Yes, Dave, it is a little creepy. Sometimes, at night, they are missing but always return the next morning. The authorities would think I am crazy if I alerted them. Not sure what to do. Happy New Year to you too!
