Four pot plants.

Sitting in a row.

One neat, dark green and boxy.

The next a lush overflow of lime.

The next, again, neat, dark green and boxy.

The last a profusion of pink buds.

They sit waiting for the residents to return home.

Soaking in the very first warmth of the year.

The first sunshine.

Not too hot yet.

Still chilled by winter.

But bright.
