FOTD: Zinnia

For Cee’s FOTD 6/7/20, I am posting a zinnia from my garden.

FOTD: Geranium

I saw two beautiful geranium plants at the plant store, and bought them – I’d never seen a two-colored geranium before. I planted this one in my plot in the community garden. In this one, you can see another budding flower underneath! Cee’s FOTD 5/25/20

FOTD: Tulips

Tulips from my former garden in Des Plaines, in full bloom right now! Cee’s FOTD: 5/21/20

FOTD: Flowers in the Rain

I don’t know the name of these flowers – I took these photos in the rain yesterday when we visited our house (which we’re now renting to daughter & son-in-law) and I noticed these yellow flowers on a plant I had planted last year in the garden. I had never seen the flowers on it […]

FOTD: Roses for Valentine’s Day

Here is a collection of red roses in honor of Valentine’s Day. Here’s my brother-in-law’s quartet serenading (actually, this was a photo opp after they did the serenade!) a couple during dinner tonight. When they do singing valentines, they always give the lady a red rose! Cee’s FOTD 2/14/20. Happy Valentine’s Day!

FOTD: Snowdrops

The first flowers of spring – usually they appear sometime in mid- to late March, so we still have some time to wait! These were last year’s snowdrops in my garden. Cee’s FOTD 2/11/20

FOTD: D-Day Garden Flowers

At Arromanches, Normandy, France, a garden, including flowers and sculptures, was created for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. These flowers constituted the “ground cover” of 1/2 of the garden. More of the garden: On the left side, are the flowers and remembrance. On the right is the stark reality of war, with obstacles, half-sunken ships, […]

FOTD: Columbine

Last year, my columbines didn’t bloom at all. This year – wow! They have not only bloomed, they have expanded in my garden, so I now have columbines in three areas of my garden! Here’s one bunch. More bloomin’ beauties at Cee’s FOTD 6/6/19.
