Lush spring green..........

My lady fountain seems to be crowded with the wild rose and the ditch lilies that are growing behind her.  Oh yes, can  you see my little turtle friend hanging out among the foilage.

Larry, charming photo and I love your turtle; we have one by our pond. We also have a Japanese maple that drops it seeds and seedlings develop profusely and many of which we pot up to give away. If you need one let us know. ;)
