Musings

Old leaves, new posey

I think I’m relapsing on adjusting to the time change, but only partly. I awaken “normal,” and fall asleep “late.”

In the pink

Valiant effort, Wee Hyacinth.

Fringe-y

I had a vision. My camera couldn’t see it.

😇 I’ll survive….

You may call it jasmine, however

It be jessamine season.

What’s hue opinion?

Blue-purple? Purple-blue? Or perhaps just a shade of blue?

Stay back! Stay safe!

Caged fleurs.

Precip on petals

During my post-rain walk, I discovered many dewy blooms, not all as elegant as this deciduous magnolia.

Relocated by wind

We’re supposed to have a front come through overnight, so windy storms, perhaps (hopefully?) weaker than the other weekend that caused us to need four large trees removed. Whew. Still, before the winds, somehow a fading camellia blossom found its way to our front steps this afternoon.

Relatives

These plants, decorative in this area, mystified me (with my northern mental database) until I found them labelled somewhere. Now, I know them to be relatives of artichokes…sporting rather elegant dagger-leaves-of-green.

Ahhh-chooo

We’re coming out of a run of cold days, and we’re headed for some lovely warm days before cold rolls in again. The warmth is enough to get the pollen going, in a bit of an ironic twist.
