April and May Walks Around the Celery Farm

Crabapples dominate the scene, pleasing both visual and olfactory senses; tree leaves expand to their full beauty and light-capturing efficiency; spring wild flowers show off at ground level, all in April and May. Come back in mid-May and see the fleabanes in all their tiny splendor at: http://www.pbase.com/bioman10/fleabanes
