My Garden: Spring Akebia Blossoms
On April 1, 2013

Absolutely love my Akebia vines. They are beautiful, always healthy and can ferociously take over a trellis.
Try planting two, cross-pollinating varieties in your yard. Your vines could produce giant, neon-purple potato-sized fruit. I was lucky enough for this to happen just one year. I’m so hoping I see it again.
The Akebia vine’s Spring blossoms are teeny tiny but fascinating to behold…especially with my new 100mm macro lens. I’m having so much fun with this close-up-larger-than-life photography. I feel like a little kid pretending to be a scientist. I creep around the yard, discovering an amazing miniature world with a magnifying glass.
