another pretty flower for the cause.

I don't know what this cheerful little beauty is called. they die down to the ground every fall and in summer they grow ten or twelve feet high and flower for weeks. So pretty!

a fascinating flower, I just love how the little pillow-shaped buds open into various colours.

Zephyranthes, or Zephyr Lily, or Rain Lily, or Fairy Lily, or Fairy Flower. These beauties bloom several times a season, usually after a strong rain which follows a dry spell. I keep them in a flower pot as they don't overwinter outdoors here. I have succeeded in forcing them to bloom a few times during the winter, too! What a lovely sight in the house during those long dreary months of short days. And in the summer the pot moves outdoors to enjoy the sun and blooms many more times. I originally was given 5 bulbs, of which 3 died off the first winter, but I now have at least 12! At most I have had 7 blooms at one time. It might be time to split them up and re-pot. Of course that means giving them away, any takers?

one of the first food sources for bees at the start of the season, so let's give them a little slack?

Can't wait to see some of these in the garden soon!

digging through the archives to find some reminders that summer will come again.

I'm not really a foodie, and I don't take a lot of pictures of food, but this looked so yummy and colourful, I thought it would be a shame not to snap it before I ate it. BTW, it tasted as deicious as it looked!

having some fun today..

summer days are behind us now, thank goodness for the archives!!

After early summer torrential rains which did their best to drown them, followed by a hellish heat wave which sought to bake them to a crisp, these lovelies finally enjoyed a revival in the cooler days of September and some very summer-like daytime temps in October. these colours are SOOC, they really looked like they were shining out of the relative darkness of the coleus.

the best thing about Autumn has to be the colours. so beautiful, but sadly, so short-lived.

I am a huge fan of these pretty little wonders. I love how they bloom in multiple colours. and how each little flower starts out looking like a tiny little pillow.
