If you know the kalanchoe plant, you know these flowers are very small. This is a closeup!

Kalanchoe, FOTD Mar 8, 2019
When I returned from two months at the beach, five different colors of kalanchoe were blooming on my front terrace. Here is a closeup of my favorite.

Leftover Anthuriums FOTD Mar 2, 2019
This little green anthurium plant has been blooming for 14 months since Brad and Dave gave it to me for Xmas last year. When I got home, three of the flowers had turned yellow. I trimmed off the brown edges and repurposed them!

Crown of Thorns: Flower of the Day, February 25, 2019

I should have balked when I saw that the manicurist had put crown of thorns blossoms into the soak water for my manicure, but instead I decided she must know what she was doing. Yes, I let her soak my hands and only when I got home and developed the sores on my hand that still haven’t healed weeks later, did I make use of Google to reaffirm what I already knew—that crown of thorns sap is poisonous and possibly lethal when ingested by animals, caustic to eyes and skin. I’m sure she just added it because it was pretty, but its effects are not.

Midnight Tryst at the Horticultural Society Ball
Midnight Tryst at the Horticultural Society Ball
In spite of our earlier indecision, when our eyes met in passing on the dance floor, they sealed the tacit agreement that we would slip into the garden at the set hour. Later, we would try but fail to furnish an adequate excuse to our spouses of the reason for our mutual midnight escape. Even our shots of the night-blooming cereus could not adequately explain our defection. It was as though we carried the scent of our desire-—as heady as the scent of that rare flower-—back to the hall with us. A universal blanket of dispraise settled over the crowd, in spite of the excitement over our viewing of the rare bloom. Everyone knew. Our mutual fate was sealed.
The prompt words for today are garden, tacit, dispraise and desire. I also made use of Cee’s FOTD flower prompt.
