This flowering crabapple tree was in my Niece’s front yard in Minnesota. You can see a fruit growing at the bottom, which surprises me as I didn’t know this was possible while it was still blooming.

This view is much-magnified. The bloom is very small.
Does anyone know what this vine is? I’ve been trying to grow it for years, but it remains sparse, even though the vine I snipped it off of for a starter was lush. I keep trying!

I took these pictures in my garden yesterday, before the rain.
This strange object that looks like a meteorite or piece of carved Cinnabar is actually a dahlia. I just edited and edited , using different filters and tools until this was the result. It is rather beautiful, I think, so I’m including it. I think it looks like two hooded women standing back-to-back. If you look closely, you can see the stamens in the center toward the top. They also look like the impression of a turtle.

Each of these zany beauties is an original –from gap-toothed teenagers to grandmothers in full bloom wearing corsages of pistils sprouting stamens each of which seems to be a full miniature flower in its own right. I took more pictures, but my computer seems to be rejecting all attempts to upload them, so sorry, Marilyn–I wanted to give you a full spectacular array, but fate is against us in this.
