to grow a tree of living lace outside my bedroom window!
no i didn't make it up; it's the Chionanthus virginicus, but Fringe Tree is easier to remember & pronounce!
it's actually a native tree of our eastern woodlands & i have been lucky enough to find a few growing in their favorite haunts.
it shimmers in the sunlight & glows in the moonlight. i have this fantasy about being woken up one night by the fragrance sliding in my window on a moonbeam. hearing laughter, i'll look out & see lightning bugs frolicking among its flowers & elves sitting on the slim branches; dangling their feet & clapping their hands. except, it blooms in april & lightning bugs don't come out until, what, the heat of june?
remind me next march to look for the christmas lights!
ohhhh how deliciously enchanted. I'm listening !
