Tuesday
morning dawned very foggy. It burned off eventually and we had
another beautiful spring-like day but while the fog was still heavy,
I went out determined to get some pictures.
While
most everything is just old and frost damaged foliage,
we
do still have a few roses blooming.
The
fall blooming tall orange cosmos are just skeletons and seed heads.
The
native peach tree at the back of the property is a little confused I
think with it's two little blooms.
The
vibrant fuchsia miniature gladiolas are emerging.
The
shrimp plant seems unbothered by the cold.
A
dewey spider web
and
an erotic fungus.
The buddha contemplates all.
Looks very similar here. Strangely pre-spring-like, amongst all the dead.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics Ellen, don't know about the fungus, it looks a pretty poorly erotica to me!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Love that you have color and blossoms....unlike the 50 shades of brown of my landscape.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Interesting how some plants can continue blooming long after the warm weather is gone.
ReplyDeleteCould you send it a little northeast. About a thousand miles would do it.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting....waiting...being patient.
ReplyDeleteso neat that you have blooms, still! loved the seed heads.
ReplyDeleteNot countering trees and some ornamental grass that looks good even in death, I only plant things in my yard that are either evergreen or die completely to the ground in winter because winter is depressing enough around here without looking at a lot of stuff that looks dead.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as always. Your artistic flare shows.
I kind of like the dead things best, this time of year - flowers seem wrong (although lovely, for sure!).
ReplyDeleteIt always takes me by surprise that you continue to have flowers blooming while we're in this deep freeze. Still, it's so nice to see.
ReplyDeleteThat is the strangest fungus!
ReplyDeleteThe fungus almost looks like an inky cap. Nice to have some blooms
ReplyDeleteWe get the erotic fungi...but without the head.
