Thank goodness for second chances.

Colchicum

By Teresa Woodard

Discouraged by all the late-summer brown in our bone-dry central Ohio landscapes, I was delighted to see some pink colchicum bulbs flowering in the backyard.  I decided to take a snapshot and was pleased to find several other colorful treasures as I took another look at our landscape through the macro lens of a camera.  Isn’t  it great our Midwestern landscapes offer another season of gardening?
