Since it was going to rain all week, I just went out and got all the flowers I could.

This is my little carniverous Cape Sundew (drosera capensis) plant that I got to help with fruit flies in my kitchen. The plant is about as wide as my hand, and the flower stem is almost a foot tall! I don’t know that it traps all that many fruit flies, but it’s cute, and I was thrilled when it recently began to flower. As instructed, I keep the saucer half filled with water, in part sun, and it seems to be happy. Bonus: TWO photos this post!

Tiny pink Cape Sundew flowers, each less than half an inch (1 cm) on a stem about 12″ tall. Only one flower blooms at a time.

At the last day before the recent temporary closure to complete the restoration at Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory (reopening Dec. 6!), these purple vanda orchids did their amazing thing.

Today was the last day that Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory was open to visitors so that the long-awaited restoration project can be completed. Look for the grand re-opening in early December.
A beautiful last day for the orchids. Conservatory is re-opening in December 2014

The overlook around the block from my house was bathed in pink the other evening.

They predicted rain, quite a bit, so I went out and cut the fully open roses. What a fine idea I had.

Not everyone knows that if you don’t pick an artichoke when it’s closed up nice and tight, it will open to a beautiful bluish-purple flower.
