Have you ever tasted a #pluot #fruit before?

Pluots /ˈpluːɒt/ are later generations of complex hybrid between the Japanese plum, Prunus salicina (providing the greater amount of parentage), and the apricot, Prunus armeniaca.[6][7] The fruit's exterior has smooth skin closely resembling that of a plum. Pluots were developed in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger.[8]

First Hepaticas

1918, watercolor, gouache, and pencil on paper by artist and naturalist Charles E Burchfield

Hepaticas are a wildflower, the appearance of which at the end of winter signals the coming of spring. Their appearance here, in the lower right hand corner amid the gloom and deadness of the painting at large, are signs of hope and regeneration.

From his journals, March 30th, 1938:

"I told her to ask her teacher whether he knew that hepaticas were in bloom, and to tell him that their blooming was of far greater importance to a child than all the crises in the world."
