It's a windy, chilly Palm Sunday, with rain and snow in the forecast, but when the sun came out this morning, I decided I should go out in the garden and see what I could see before the weather gets nasty. The plant above is actually leafing out - those aren't petals. The polygonum dies back to the ground each winter, but grows each year to be a 3-foot-high shrub with variegated leaves. Frankly, these red leaves are more showy than the small, white flowers it will produce later in the season!
