Edible Arrangement: Flower of the Day, Oct 2, 2018

I loved this edible arrangement in the jardiniere outside the Northern Hotel in Billings. Did you know jardiniere can mean either the pot or a garnish of mixed vegetables? So this is a double jardiniere.

Creeping Charlie and Chinese Garlic Chives


They shoulder out my succulents and commandeer my grass.

Perky little coins of green, they have a lot of brass.
Chinese garlic lifts white heads a bit above the fray.
Although they’re uninvited guests, I guess they’re here to stay.

Golden Bougainvillea: Flower of the Day, Sep 25, 2018

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.

Earrings and Surprises: Flower of the Day, Sep 24, 2018

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.

Bromeliads: Flower of the Day, Sep 23, 2018

Not a flower yet, but can’t resist showing these spidery little bromeliads that have colonized the bark of this tree. They do bloom, but the flowers are tiny and easily overlooked.

Papaya Bloom: Flower of the Day, Sep 21, 2018

 

IMG_2488These are large blooms, about the size of my hand.  I’ve never paid close attention to them before, but now that I have three papaya trees right beside my kitchen window, it is easier to both see when the fruit is ripe and to notice the blooms.
Here is one of the two papayas I picked from the tree yesterday:
