A pair of yellow water lilies came up next to each other, and I decided to capture them through the day as they opened up. I hope you enjoy it!

Yellow and Green
When my husband insisted on putting plants into our pond, I wasn’t as keen. But he was definitely right about the water lilies – and now we regularly talk about it being a “5 lily day” when there are that many in bloom. Just gorgeous.
Peahens and chicks?
A while back my husband rather randomly plucked a small plant from the ground at a house he was fixing up and placed it on our rock wall. It has flourished – but apparently it would prefer a more flat placement? The top part grew much taller and now instead of it being “hens and chicks” it looks like it is more in the peacock family…

I’m seeing this tree (really tall bush? okay, definitely in the plant family) a lot as I walk around and I haven’t noticed it before. I have not yet completed a full year of walking intentionally around my neighborhood and where I work so I’m still running into plants that look quite different than they do other times of the year. Anyway. I like this – it reminds me of Japanese maples in that the color is right and the leaves are feathery (yes, I know not all Japanese maples fit that description. Work with me.)
So, if you know what this is, I’d like to know. Thanks in advance!

Along the rivers and canals are lots of wild rosebushes. They are just starting to bloom, and they cheered up my morning recently.

One thing I love about dogwoods compared to cherry trees is that their blooms last a very very long time. I get to enjoy them over and over.

This time the grafted dual-color plant I saw was an azalea. This was in Fairfax, Virginia. Simply lovely.

It’s common practice around here to graft a branch from one tree to another to create bi-colored flowering trees. It’s common, and yet I’m always intrigued when I see one.

Don’t think of it as a lawn filled with weeds. Think of it as a lawn decorated with festive yellow polka dots. Problem solved.

Today I feel a need to share something beautiful.
