This is the second flower brought to me by the hummingbird lady. I can’t get over the pattern on the front part of the flower and I’m wondering if it was caused by being wrapped around the pistil. The other part of the flower doesn’t seem to have the pattern on it, so perhaps it was wrapped around it on the outside. I’ve never noticed this in any other flower before and it makes it look artificial, but it isn’t

Another one I used to know the name of but no longer do. If anyone does, I’ll add the name if you clue me in. So little time.. so many unidentified plants! I loved the sky as much as I did the flowers on this day…I may paint my house this color!
Do not miss seeing this flower as well. It is stunning!!! https://ceenphotography.com/2016/04/23/flower-of-the-day-april-24-2016-bearded-iris/

This little woodpecker wakes me up most mornings, pecking away 80 feet or more up one of my palm trees. This morning it brought a gift by bringing my attention to these beautiful palm blossoms that I usually only notice floating in my pool.

Since it is almost Easter and since lilies always remind me of Easter and my mother, this post is for her. Both my mom and dad loved flowers and trees and every house in the somewhat arid little town where I grew up always sported trees, petunias, pansies, trumpet vines, tulips, peonies, sweetpeas and roses––but never lilies. They were for Easter, as a potted plant to be thrown away after the blooms faded. I don’t think it ever occurred to us that they could be planted.
