Gooseberries, a member of the Ribes family, are adorable translucent berries that hang hidden and protected under the overhanging scalloped leaves of the shrubbery.

For a plant with a short bang, lilacs (Syringa) reside in memories for a very long time.

It must be spring. The flowers are poking through the cold soil only to be greeted by the cold and periodic dustings of wet snow.

Zinnias are one of the happiest flowers on earth. A judgement statement, but one I believe strongly in.
