Pieris japonica. Lily-of-the-Valley Bush. Devoted blog fans will remember this from when I first noticed the year’s flowers and then, 2.5 weeks later, discovered that from the right angle, they’re basically spider-stuffed barnacles.
Rock Paper Lizard’s posting concerned some cute little bird (the “illadvisedly-named Orange-crowned Warbler”, if you must know) that likes to “bash around in the Pieris bush”. With a picture of said bird (which, incidentally, is green) (yes, green), sitting (apparently) in my Vermont yard, in my mystery azalea.
“Aha!” says I, “mystery solvéd”.
Whew. Do I find life fascinating? Yes, I do.
Yay, Sarah. Yes, that is the plant, and you have a great outlook on life. And now I (embarrassedly late) understand the Dave thing--funny story.
