Mellow Yellow Monday

Wow, happy Monday again!  By now, you probably know that I am a sucker for yellow flowers; well, all things yellow really, but flowers especially.  When we first moved here going on ten years ago, I bought some wedelia, because it was yellow.  We're still trying to tame it!  At the time, I did not know it was incredibly invasive.  Down at the very far end of our property, we keep a "wild area" for birds and squirrels and invasive flowers.  That's where we try to keep the passion flower and the wedelia.  It's a pretty place : )

Ruby Tuesday - My Apologies

As I was reviewing the shots I took the last few days, I couldn't find anything really red....I had pink, purple, and orange, all of which I consider to be sort of shades of red. When I arrange my papers or my fabric, I always keep those shades close to the reds. Does that make me a bad person : ) Anyway, here is what I have to offer - "shades of red":

The butterfly plant

The Indian Pipe Vine

The thing I can never remember the name of - one of the amorphophallic or whatever plants - some years it come up like this, some years it comes up with stalks and leaves.  When it's like this, it stinks and attracts flies.  Lovely, huh?

A cactus flower.

A teeny tiny wild flower

The Passion Flower

If you were dying to see ruby, I'm sorry : (

Oh boy am I behind!! AND I have a question....

Question - has anyone else experienced any changes in Blogger?  My pictures used to go where I put them, but lately they've been going to the top of the post and I have to move them to where I want them.  It's always possible I changed a setting, being an impatient clicker, but I was wondering if this happened to anyone else????

FERTILIZER FRIDAY:

For every gardening joy

you will find at least one, maybe more, gardening upsets.  For instance, the Passion Flower (above) is invasive AND the bugs do horrible things to the veggies:

SKYWATCH FRIDAY:

Projectile vomiting cloud

COLOR CARNIVAL:

The Color Carnival meme has changed some of the rules, so I'm not quite sure this can be entered yet, but here it is before I forget it : )  I'll go check later.

SIX WORD SATURDAY:

It's hot here and humid too!

CAMERA CRITTERS:

I asked my DH why it's back was so bumpy and he said it's probably babies - don't look if critters make you squeamish : )

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY:

Looks kind of Halloweenish doesn't it?

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS:

Look at all the little bitty palm trees along the curves of my car - looks like custom pin striping!!

Sure hope your weekend is going great - and that next week is even better.  Peace.  B : )

Fertilizer Friday - WARNING: may make you dizzy

Does this make you dizzy?

It does me.  Good thing my husband and I have a fascination with dead trees because our yards are pretty much deathly ugly right now.  Some few things are OK, but not much.  We can hope they make a comeback - not this tree, it's too late for it.  I have learned that Passion Flower plants are like cockroaches - nothing even hurts them!!  Have a happy weekend.  Please click on the button to the right to see some nice flowers.  Peace.  B : )
