I always post the first lily of the season, but the pictures are usually… well, better than this. I couldn’t be bothered to get my camera out this time…
I used to have a big bed in the back stuffed with these things (and a plumeria) but I dug everything up a few years ago and now they’re all over, in dribs and drabs… one or two in one place. They make a better display all together, though.
The difference between the first and second picture: 12 inches and a shadow. In reality they’re all deeply, brilliantly blue.
My friend Joanie first taught me about shadows and light and for that I thank her, because I look for it everywhere now. 😉
Are you bored? Surprisingly enough, me too.
What is this strange liquid emanating from the Bird of Paradise ‘boat’? Oh, Joanie! I was supposed to look for different colors! Totally forgot!
My baby. I raised him from a seed. (And yes, I need to redo the beds. Currently pressure cleaning in the back, so it will have to wait a bit.)
Had no idea arecas could grow so dang high!
Welcome to the Cracker Box!
Another group of plants I never thought would go so far!
I already have a list, but seeing these pictures… let’s just say I’ve added several items.
Not mine; I can barely grow grass. Took it through the fence. For some reason my neighbors are aces at growing things.
Sometimes I just need to look at green. Weird, right? To me it’s even more soothing than blue.
Guess it’s a good thing I’m completely surrounded by the stuff.
Is that a mosquito feeding off a mosquito killer? If so, that’s enough irony for me today…
I think I like his bemused expression in this pic better…
I had no idea that those little flowery things on Firebush plants actually open!
And what is this?? They’re hanging off a rapidly growing tree.
And this weird looking thing?
