It has been a very long, dry summer
a few weeks ago we had our first rain event
and hoped the long dry was over
no such thing, we had almost 2" in one go
and not a drop more
it confused nature even more,
spring bulbs are popping up
plum trees are in full blossom
and
my autumn crocuses, Colchicum burst into bloom
which only lasted for a few days
as the heat came back . . .
at least they were brilliant for those
precious few days

ReplyDeleteThey were gorgeous while they lasted Arija. The weather has confused our flowers too as everything seemed to arrive early this year. Thank you for sharing your lovely photos with Today's Flowers, and have a wonderful weekend :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Arija! The IHM post will go up tomorrow evening, I'm so happy you will be joining in.
ReplyDeleteGlorious things. I haven't seen any sign of ours. We haven't had any rain either. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are gorgeous.I do hope you get that much needed moisture soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat's normal about weather? Enjoy those beautiful flowers while you can.
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeletesorry for the confusion.
wishing you just the right amount of rain.
Oh Arija -- they were brilliant indeed! Thank you for this. (I'm so glad you captured them with your camera). I know yours are Fall crocuses (croci?), but they remind me of the Spring ones I am missing by being here in Florida.
