I took a photo of my Jasmine setting seed in front of my apartment. It flowered in the spring for about a month, then wept on in the shade through the summer, and gave me oblong seed pods that I showed off proudly when anyone stopped by, and then...as I was picking pansies, I tried to clean off what I thought was trash or something, and noticed it was the seed pods. The feather like apparatus attached gives the seed lift and float time to spread far and wide.

Speaking of pansies, ugh...pansies, pansies, pansies...it seems like this time of year, we fight and fight to keep them looking presentable, yet...time and time again, they fail my hopes and peter out until the warm weather hits. Today was a nice day...the crew did the cleaning of the lots and I have did the beds, except where the snow was covering it all up. My flowers are not in the best of shape, but we soldier on and hope for miracles.

When I made it home, I found water leaking from my ceiling in two places. The maintenance folks have found their way here and want to chat now. I took a photo of my Jasmine as it sets seed...it looks interesting, the feathers make it fly.
