As much as I love the outburst of the crocus on the prairie, my favorite spring blossom is the Buffalo Bean. And, I’m delighted to announce, from my rocky perch on the South Saskatchewan riverbank that they’re baaack! Bright and sunny in appearance – with a sweet, earthy scent – BB’s (or Thermopsis rhombifolia as they are officially known in circles Latin) are tough as all get out. When you see a Buffalo Bean peeking from riverbanks and roadsides, you know that summer is not far behind!
