I don't know many people, women especially, that do NOT enjoy flowers. Well, I LOVE them and I love them even more when I can actually plant something small and watch it grow each day, then it BLOOMS!!! Here in SF the soil is RICH and the climate is gentle! Everything I place in the ground GROWS!! It is amazing!! Well, I guess I have to add....I planted a vegetable garden last summer and that did not do as well as I hoped. We do not get as much sun as a summer vegetable garden needs. Someone told me though that I could grow winter veges so I just may have to give that a try.
So, this blog will be pictures of flowers around the yard that bring me much joy. Hope you enjoy them too!!
I really enjoy white flowers. Something about them looking so PURE. Here is a bouquet that I put together today with Jasmine and Cala Lily. The Jasmine smells soooo good!!
This is in Gabby's room. The lighting is perfect in this little sun room. I've had this one for quite awhile and this Kalanchoe will bloom, fall off, and bloom all year long! May have to get me a few more of this type. It does not require a lot of water and is on the top 10 list of indoor flowering plants. I like them.
Here is a picture of the orange Clivia. Jane Nash separated it off of the one she has and gave it to me to plant at SF house and he LOVES it here!! I took this picture before I left for the week.
Here it is one week later!! Amazing!! It gave me THREE blooms!!
Here is the second Clivia plant that Jane recently gave me. We also cut it from her plant in Visalia. He is yellow and will give me THREE this year too!! Tune in later for the outcome!!
We see these all over the place - growing in the wild, I don't have any in my garden but thought I'd post them anyway. I do not know their names, yet. But, I Love 'em!
UPDATE: We went to the Nursery and asked the name!!
Pride of Madeira - Echium candicans!
Another angle.
LOVE this time of the year - hope you are also enjoying SPRING!!!
