Flowering Current
Though it's advertised as red
this is clearly pink
And it's just starting to bloom... finally. The wild flowering currents have been in full bloom and are nearly red... closer than this pale pink. We bought this shrub at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens plant sale several years ago... and we most disappointed when they bloomed light pink. I love it regardless. We're working on finding a real red one for another spot in the garden.
I started doing Hump Day Haiku with Carla Sonheim's Silly classes... and decided as a challenge for myself, I'd continue. In this process, I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 - 7 - 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul.
I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art.

Beautiful Haiku and flower.We are in the midst of our planting season, it's always so much satisfaction to see the fruits on your labor come to fruition. Hope your week is going good Helen. Have a wonderful evening.
I enjoy my flowering currants, too. I've seen pink and dark pink. In "Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast" the Red-flowering currant looks kinda dark pink. Just sayin... = )
