FLOWERS!
More & More FLOWERS~!
My daughter is in
Japan at the moment
but she had given me
an African violet for
Mother's Day & it's
blooming now.
I love the iridescent
quality of the petals.
(click to enlarge.. although
I see I should have cleared
a bit of dirt off before
taking the photo!)

This is another one of my flower beds.
As you can see, I need to get a few annuals in
the ground next to the Shasta daisy's.
The day lilies & mums to the right are not
blooming quite yet.
This is a close-up of Kennilworth ivy..
it's growing in the crevices of the rocks,
but you can't see it in the larger photo.
In fact, this ivy pops up all over my yard.
I really like this little ground cover,
it looks like tiny little orchids and
it seems very 'Shire-like' to me.
