Yellow clivia

This graceful flower is related to amaryllis and is a bulb. I saw it growing happily in mass plantings in Mexico in the early spring, and here it was in Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania in May.

White dogwood tree

Last spring I was in Longwood Gardens outside of Philadelphia. Enjoy the light, as we are in our gray weather now, here in Seattle.

December bouquet

Snow is forecast so I went outside to grab the nasturtiums and whatever else showed some color.

Fuchsia basket

The photo archives of summer on a cold, dark and rainy December day yield visions of color and warmth. My hanging fuchsia basket was a good one!

Snow scene

It hasn’t snowed this year yet, but I thought I’d post this scene of my back yard from a few years back, before a house was built beyond the fence. Scenic to the max!
