Room with a lacey view

view from my European hotel room

this Bud’s for you!

for all you do, this Bud’s for you!

buds at Kew Gardens just outside of London.

(i like the wicks on the buds that are past their prime – they look like a strand of hair)

Flower stems

Beautiful blue

Yellow

Yellow. Lots of yellow.

Hibiscus petals

I love the papery thin petals of hibiscus flowers.

Seed pod

Traveling gives you a chance to see different plants, like this interesting seed pod in Maui.

Seed head

Picture of a seed head in my garden. I think this might be a garlic sead head?

Black eyed susan

The Black-eyed Susan: the state flower of Maryland.

Blue delphinium

Delphinium stalks are nice and tall with wonderful clusters of flowers.

Stained glass

I’m enjoying a nice holiday weekend – taking time to enjoy simple things like this stained glass window.
