Flower of the Day – Roses

Saw this on my walk this morning. Brightened up an otherwise overcast day. The owner was in the driveway fiddling with his car. I asked permission before launching onto his property to take this photo. He was very gracious, even offered me a rose! 😊

Flower of the day – Lena’s Broom & Lilac

In my garden these two bushes are entwined. They are trying to out muscle each other. Both are taller than me!   The scent coming from this corner of the garden though, is heavenly!

Flower of The Day? – Cactus

It is the time of year when I go ‘plant crazy’, according to my daughter ( now my mother, she thinks).

Since I killed off my cactus and pineapple top I planted last year. I figured I’d bring in a replacement and keep it indoors this time. I think the cactus and pineapple fell victim to the spring rains. I had forgotten that part about cactus-type plants. Rain is not their friend. Lessons learned.

A good day to all!

FOTD – Chinese Redbud

These are everywhere in my neighborhood right now. Some are lining streets while others are in the park. It kept catching my eye, but today I really paid attention to this one.  The blooms are directly on the hefty trunk, as well as on the thinner branches. How cool is that? An equalizer. Beauty from all shapes and sizes. Imagine that☺️.
