Author's Note
Pictures taken and birdsong recorded in our garden on Tuesday morning 9th March, 2021. Was going to enter this in faithmaree's "I Love Spring" comp but missed the closing date still trying to think of a poem to go with it. Anyway, maybe the birds and Spring flowers say it all. 😊 🌷 🌹
I did a similar but more summery tour of the garden a couple of years ago, which you can find here:

Dear J,
Love it! As poetic as it can get. I’m not sure words could do these photos and background bird song justice. You have a Beautiful garden. H🌷

(It's quarter of an acre, and 15 years ago was a pile of rubble)

That was exquisite! What a labor of intensive love!! While I loved all the photos there was a tree with red flowers? on it. What is that called? That was striking! Also, you told me before, and I forgot- sorry, what is the structure called shaped like an igloo? That was extraordinary. You have a beautiful home and garden. Thank you so much for send that link.

Glad you liked the extended 'tour'.
It's probably the "Bottle-Brush" bush.
The structure is a 'geodesic dome'. I'm currently building a second one as a greenhouse. I put a picture on of the frame last year:

Have nearly finished all the 120+ triangular windows. Will post a pic when done.

I feel like this is a déjà vu of sorts, Josh. Did you post a garden video once before? It was a very lovely listen. Thank you for sharing.

Well remembered. Yes I did "Garden Meditation" a couple of years ago.

Thank you Jemac. We're very lucky to have this 1/4 acre garden; it was just a pile of rubble a decade+ ago. RL much appreciated 🙏

Thank you Wally. The birdsong around here is amazing - part of the deal in return for them nesting in the roof :))
