Wordless Wednesday – Wildflower

Butter Yellow

I bought these a few weeks ago, they are still in bloom at a bright spot near the window. We are up to week three, with a diet of indirect sunlight and three ice cubes once a week – we seem to still be keeping company. Orchids have a mind of their own. Mostly, I’m just along for the ride.

Spring Rain

 

(I took this photo in my garden yesterday. Can’t wait for these peonies to open up:) The poor thing was in a deep bow this morning. Probably drunk on raindrops.)

 

birds have gone silent

 

they too are caught up

in the melody of the rain

 

nature walk interrupted

as may flowers and young leaves

dance in spring rain

Flower of The Day

This tulip is actually from my garden. The only one of it’s kind that survived the foraging of the squirrels.

A Quadrille

On Garden culture –

Ants are about hauling several times their weight

Bees and butterflies share a flower
Showing no interest in exerting power

Just what have they figured out that we have yet to?

Maybe some day soon it’s something we’ll get up to

“Up”

 

Flower of The Day

Ants, going about their business doing whatever it is they are doing to my peony.

#Flower of The Day – Bleeding Heart

Yep, I actually knew the name of this one. It’s been in it’s corner of my garden for years. Each year it gets bigger and bolder:)
