I love how the edges of this hellebore flower are a hot pink against the otherwise white of the rest of the flower. This is a double with very ruffled edge inner petals. In the background against the soil are Douglas fir pine cones and pine needles
I plopped this iris into a large planter years ago. It and others come back year after year. The contrast between the yellow and purple is striking.
Took a little time out today to walk my garden and look for things coming back to life and blooming.
1st photo is Helleborus Winter Jewels 'Picotee Pearl'
2nd photo Iris 'Purple Gem'

The destruction is the point.

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

Would a little more epistemological humility help Higher Education in the current climate? A simple idea with a complicated name.
Discussed in my recent books:
How to Mend a University.
Reclaiming the Teaching Discourse in Higher Education.
Just a thought
