This lovely fleur is of the genus Agapanthus, and it hails from southern Africa, if my web sources are correct (and there is no dissent, so I can assume it’s the truth*).
* In these times, truth may be a poor word to choose (in any usage whatsoever), as so many American citizens seem willing to…uhem, I’ll just stop here. Apologies for the near-rant.

The majority of the lupine are at this stage, with seeds growing in fuzzy pods.

I do very much enjoy this photo setting when it works (portrait, stage light).
First day of summer vegetation progress report from central north Georgia mountains: mimosa trees in full flower and scattered moderate sized pink blooms in the ditches that I couldn’t recognize at highway speeds.

There’s gotta be a clever quip based on this leaf image, right? Something to do with the word stoma? Got me.
Title is phrase that sometimes appears on our TV…coyly, in the upper right.

The title—94, 96, 95—reports the high temps through Sunday that the meteorologist predicted yesterday morning. I think yesterday did get to 94, but today topped at 97. Yeesh.
What will tomorrow bring?
Appropriately, this is a yesterday-photo. 😇

We are three meals in on our air fryer experiments…two of salmon filets, and one of tofu. We are (I am) trying to incorporate more fish/other meals in our diet, instead of terrestrial critter protein (including dairy).
One advantage of the air fryer, and I don’t understand how this happens, but there’s no fishy odor. Amazing.
No food photos; too messy. Very tasty, however.

Yesterday, I did finish pressure-washing the front and back entry areas, and called that eeeee-nufff. [I ignored the sidewalk in front of the house; apologies, pedestrians.] I also summed the time spent pressure-washing over two days—6.5 hrs—whew! Today, I rested my back (which, truth be told, was basically okay, I think because of my irregular “Classical Stretch/Essentrics” workouts).

I had a vision for this photograph, and this is almost there…the leaf and flower shapes make an interesting, varying landscape.

We got to chat long-distance with long-time friends who are on a round-the-world trip. They called from Old Corinth/Korinthos, in Greece. Wow! We’re so lucky! I think the last time we chatted they were in New Zealand.

I have needed to get these struggling rhubarb plants transplanted for years. I’m hoping to do it this fall. In the meantime, they need protection from the grass and other plants that suck away the moisture, provide too much shade, etc. So, the cardboard is my quickie barrier method weed control, in the style of NASmith, aka The Botanist.
