I promised over a month ago to show you the blooms on my agave spike when they burst out. Here is the next stage, after the initial thrust that looked like a 10 foot high stalk of asparagus.

It’s supposed to snow tomorrow so this may have been the last day for these lovelies. I’m not sure what they are. Mums? Dahlias? Anyone know?

Won’t have a chance to blog tomorrow..long day of flying. So, here’s my posy at least. It looks a bit Octobery!
This vine grows over my wall at the lowest end of the garden so I forget it is even there. Today I made quite a few new discoveries about my lawn and garden. You’ll be seeing a few of them in the upcoming weeks. This is the first. I love this color and think I may have to plant another one in a spot where it is easier to see.

When Pasiano went to the vivero for more soil for my new pots, I asked him to choose two plants for the pots we’d put at the entrance to my house and to just surprise me. These are the plants he bought. Yolanda says the red and white one is an “aretes” plant, which means earrings–I guess because the red hangs down from the white.Through research, I’ve determined that the arete plant (actually, earrings of the queen) is a variety of fuchsia and the other plant is a hydrangea. Mystery solved. They are the only white flowers in my garden. A surprise that the Americano chooses all the bright colors and the Mexicano chose white, albeit with a little splash of blue or red in the center.
