The Garden Awakens
Anise 'Woodland Red' ( Illicium floridanum ) A few weeks ago, I thought spring would never arrive, but now the change is astonishing. The nights are still cold (40s and sometimes even 30s) so planting tender annuals and vegetables is unwise although I have already succumbed, but covering and uncovering things gets old quickly. Someone made a wise comment last week and I must agree with them - "Don't plant anything tender until after May 1". Several plants are blooming like never before. One is the Anise shrub (above and below). I don't know if the recent tree pruning, which is allowing more sun into the woodland path, is affecting it or perhaps it is just age, but I've never seen so many blooms. Michael refers to this as "the stinky fish shrub" and I have to admit to smell of the flowers is quite unpleasant. It is so beautiful that I can overlook that.

Does the recipe end, "Cut into 9 brownies. Oh, who are you kidding? Just eat the whole pan." Those look really good.
ReplyDeleteLKT, that's what I did! :)
ReplyDeletemmmmm...i'm so gonna make these!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this! Does it fit into my "healthy eating" plan?

ReplyDeleteI am trying to lose weight, and you are not helping! But, of course, my diet does allow one serving of chocolate per day, otherwise I can't possibly stick to it. These look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love brownies. I'll have to try this recipe. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteI second LKT's comment. :)
ReplyDeleteOK I have to make these. My favorite brownie recipe right now is Molly Wizenberg's. I'll see what I think after I make these.
ReplyDeleteI would feel so fancy and important eating these! looks good!
ReplyDeleteOh my, YUMMY!
