Yes I shall refrain from the verbal diarrhoea when making a first comment to give me a better chance of winning . . . Besides that you might think my comment was a "horrible load of rhubarb" . . . . lol
I saw him try ~ he was all of a spin on my globe and suddenly he seemed to fall off !! Sorry about that Keith ~ try to re-submit and then re-submit ~ it sometimes works but with the wrong comment . . . lol
So delicate and lovely. We had them growing in Santa Barbara years ago...the climate there loved flowers. We had huge double poinsettias as high as the church. Wish I has a picture of them. We cut them at Christmas and the stems were so big we had to put them in boiling water or all the milk would come out. That sealed them, and they looked beautiful in the church almost reaching the ceiling.
My goodness! I've never heard of a poinsettia like that! Must have been gorgeous! I almost asked how it could have survived at Christmas....haha....your Christmases are warmer than ours!
Wow, Wanda - I had never heard of that before. I googled it and in this photo they are nine feet tall! And she lives in Santa Barbara. http://www.joyusgarden.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/DSCN5754_new.jpg Very cool.
It's funny to think that we are ahead of anyone, but it is true we are further south that you! ha. I planted my daffodils this spring, so I still have some of them to look forward to...and the violets are still going strong!
Did you give a little squeal and cheer when the flakes fell so lovely and dear? Oh wait, that would have been me. You probably had tear drops falling on your knees! hahaha.....
B.E.A.utiful! Love looking at your flowers and such. Know why? You take close-ups. My fav! I found a peony at the lake. Can't wait til it blooms. I'll definitely take a close-up. Toodles!
Yeah, close-ups are cool. I got a new macro lens that makes it really fun! I had a couple of cats that were so excited I was outside that they kept trying to jump on me while I took photos...SO many were blurry because I was crouching down and they were throwing me off balance. Crazy! lol.... Can't wait to see your peony.....what a fun surprise to find at the lake!
How beautiful . . . . lovely . . . :)

HI Eddie, I'm having problems commenting on your blog. Speak to you soon.
DeleteAw...what's wrong, Keith? It couldn't only be that you can't comment on Eddie's blog! ha.
DeleteI saw him try ~ he was all of a spin on my globe and suddenly he seemed to fall off !!
DeleteSorry about that Keith ~ try to re-submit and then re-submit ~ it sometimes works but with the wrong comment . . . lol
I'm broken hearted because I put £2 in a drinks vending machine and nothing came out, just an empty cup. Sob!
DeleteThe most expensive paper cup I have ever bought!
DeleteGosh . . . . how awful of that vending machine . . . daylight robbery . . !!!
Deletegiggling....sorry....lol.....oh dear!
Deletesorry Keith . . . I'm having a giggle too . . Betsy's fault!! . . . . I hope you get your money back somehow . . .
DeleteKeith, at least you didn't pull the cup away and then the drink splashed out and onto your shoes!
DeleteLove how they are so posed - like a wee pink ballerina.
ReplyDeleteI transplanted it and divided it last week so I was happy to see it still had blooms!
DeleteI can see mine coming too, we must be a week or so behing...love them!
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty...and unusual... I think that's why I like them so much!
DeleteI have never seen those in person. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Cali is too hot for them? They are here early spring and the the whole plant is done and dies off in the summer.

Man....you are way ahead of me!
ReplyDeleteJust a few Daffodils, Violets and Scillia....
They are lovely, Betsy!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
It's funny to think that we are ahead of anyone, but it is true we are further south that you! ha.

Showing their full self today
ReplyDeleteAs they open up with the sun on display
We had snow today here
But it quickly did disappear
Did you give a little squeal and cheer
Deletewhen the flakes fell so lovely and dear?
Oh wait, that would have been me.
You probably had tear drops falling on your knees!
hahaha.....
lol I complained a bit
DeleteBut not so bad since it doesn't stick enough to cause a fit
Pat throwing a fit would be fun to see.
DeleteNext time if happens, record a video for me.
ha.
Ours aren't ready to bloom yet. Love these flowers! You got a gorgeous shot!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have a white one.....I should put that on my wish list!

DeleteSimply perfection.
ReplyDeleteI must look into checking if these plants are deer proof, or a chosen tidbit.
Magical shot.
~Jo
Yes, if the deer leave them alone, you must have one...or three! ha.
DeleteOne of my favorite flowers and you took a great picture of these beauties.
ReplyDeleteThey're so pretty, aren't they? Do you have any perennials sprouting in your new yard?
DeleteYes, but I don't know what they are yet.
DeleteI know we have an apple tree. berries of some kind and ROSES!!!!!!
Just beautiful!!
