COMMENT: Lent 2nd Week Life of Moses

Bush identities.  

Left: Amelanchier

In the rectory, the bush was brightened in sunshine and name was suggested Japanese Lilac. 
I had to ask our garden helper,and he was able to put us right on the identity of the flowering shrub, Amelanchier Canadensis.
Later the story continued.
In fact, Fr. M. of horticultural experience, named the flowering shrub as the Japanese Cherry.
We learn more. It is from the Church window that the Amelanchier is showing in the spring development. It is seen to the left in the cemetery view.
