I never noticed before that things bloom in specific colors in my garden at one time. Most of the blues and whites have passed, pinks are going and now I have purple flowers.

I didn’t know that forget me not flowers emerge from a spiral. Double good since I love spirals and blue flowers.

Blues and Purple too

That Day of the Year

A few warm days and sunshine and there they were, my first crocuses to bloom. We are going back to cold again tomorrow, but the birds singing and crocuses blooming are happy making. I think I post a photo of the first crocus every year, but why not?

Sunburst

Palm Fruits

My parlor palm is fruiting for the first time. Supposedly I could plant the fruits and have many palms. Once again, my houseplants like the fact that all the trees have been cut down, I do not.
