TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Sharp and Dreamy


Hallo my friends, I do hope you will comment if briefly, I
will do my best to reciprocate and certainly visit but, for a
while commenting will literally be a pain since some unknown
thing has happened to one of my vertebra which inhibits typing.
Please don't leave me to languish in interpixie darkness.

* * * *

Some things in life are sharp as a tack, like this beautiful
double Hibiscus found in a Tumby Bay garden.


Others are soft and dreamy and lead to introspection, like this
humble geranium transformed by light into the guise of a peony.



Both are equally valid and necessary for a balance life.

They also both enlarge for your convenience.

    Hope the back is soon mended Arija - they are a pesky nuisance, but unfortunately we need them in order to stand upright. Happy Easter to you.

    Good morning! I hope you have been well.

    My son and husband both love hibiscus and they planted two of those this spring. It's funny, they are the ones who love flowers and colors in the garden. They have been planting different flowering plants. My son really loves gardening and every weekend, it seems he and his Dad go to the nursery. My son tends to his plants everyday. I only come out to help dig and prepare the flower beds. It is too hot out there and we are starting to have drought. Soon we may have water rationing. Have a blessed Easter, dearest Arija. Tsup!

    These flowers are so beautiful. The first one almost looks like it has the texture of crepe paper. I hope you are better very soon. Take care of yourself!
