Carrot Muffins

I got this great recipe from Joy of Baking website.

The first Columbines of Spring

Volunteer pansy.

Mount Airy Bottlebrush

I picked this schrub up at White Oak Nursery in Cincinnati at the end of last season (because a tree fell on the existing bush) but it was pretty much only stick when I brought it homw. I was very suprised to see these flowers on it a few days ago. I guess from some research that I did that it is also called Fothergilla or Witch Alder.

Chocolate Vine (akebia quinata)

Wrapping around my deck and making a lovely green curtain to block the view of the neighbors.
