Zinnias Curtailed: Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Flowers
Zinnias Curtailed: Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Flowers
Okay, Zinnias again, but this time in black and white! I think this last clump of zinnias look like they have been captured in moonlight.
I was going for an artificial effect here, and I think it works. They look waxy and stiff to my eye.

The common name for this purple-accented vining plant is “Wandering Jew” This particular variety has such beautiful little flowers that I had to present them.
Jade Plant: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, 8/13/15
Jade Plant
This was my friend Chuy’s plant and every time I look at it, I think of him. He used to take my friend Betty and me out into the small villages to see precolumbian artifacts and ruins. 
I love the buds as much as the flowers–the shading and the tight little promise of delicate white flowers to come.
They are like presents that open themselves. Every day a new collection of perfect blooms.
Impossible to choose a favorite shot, so I’ll be as profuse as the plant and just include them all!

Heartleaf Ice Plant, nee Baby Sunrose, nee Red Apple Ice Plant
I have loved ice plant ever since I first spied it in CA and brought cuttings back to my greenhouse room in Wyoming. I have been known to pull off the hiway to pinch off a chain of ice plant. The beach was another favorite gathering place. Now I live surrounded by it–growing from planters, along sidewalks and crawling over pumice grinding stones hundreds of years old.

Heart of Zinnia with Fly and Spider Floss: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, August 8, 2015
I sprinkled seed from an earlier zinnia plant over this plot of dirt left after I dug up a big cactus to transplant. My plans were to put a fish pond here, but I can’t bear to dig up the zinnias which have been blooming almost constantly since. You’ve seen them at other stages, but this is what they look like now. They are loving the rainy season!
I love the detail of the shadow in this closeup.
