New Growth

My Friday Miscellanea began with a photo of a flowering shrub that I took this week. I wanted to show you a closeup of this unusual flower which is like a tiny explosion of threads. So here it is. I can't find the name of this plant, but you can see both the unopened buds and the open flowers:

In the same theme, there are signs of the re-awaking of musical performances. One example is a series of concerts at Victoria, British Columbia's Christ Church Cathedral (where I played concerts years ago). Yesterday's concert was French Baroque music for two violins with Tyson Doknjas, Chloe Kim, and Kathryn Wiebe on baroque violins.

Very nicely done.
