I’d swear it wasn’t there the day before yesterday. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed the hedge itself, which seems infinitely forgettable. Then, out of nowhere, this stunning bloom. Where did it come from? Where is it going? How did Nature come up with such an unlikely means of reproduction? And how did I not see it walking this same sidewalk a year ago? Did it blossom overnight? Was I just thinking of something else? How much have I missed?
