Christmas Plant

A pretty plant with a big red bow on it combined with the early morning light to cast this shadow.

Gardening Blues

in a happy way

There were so many blue planters and garden objects out on my last visit to the garden center

Mid Week Blues

Outdoor Wednesday

Pretty Planters

Actually I really love the plant stand most of all.

I thought the baskets were a bit Spring/Easter-ish but then I saw a young girl weaving daisies into one and filling it with petals and potpourri. I wanted to ask her permission to take a photo of her work but she seemed so focused and a bit shy that I decided to leave her to enjoy her craft.

MID WEEK BLUES

Two New Photo Projects

Two of my favorite people MARY and PAGAN SPHINX have started new photo projects today.

Pagan is hosting 'Think Green Thursday' - you can read all about it HERE. She is having some technical issues but wanted to start on Earth Day so have a little patience and be a little flexible. If anyone can answer her tech questions please help - I'd really appreciate it.

Mary has started 'Window Views'. Check it out HERE. If it's half as successful as Ruby Tuesday it's going to be great.

My photo seemed appropriate for both ...



Lots of green in front of lots of windows in a greenhouse.

Ruby Tuesday: A Plant

I wish I could tell you what plant this is. I think it is tropical, perhaps a heliconia?



All I know is - it's red and it's pretty.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

RUBY TUESDAY

UPDATE: Thanks to DARYL we now know the plant is a Red Bromeliad - Daryl found it at THIS SITE and I found some added info about it at THIS OTHER SITE
We learn something new every single day!
