Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now. They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there.

DeleteWow...it looks like fireworks.
ReplyDeleteonly slightly confused; it starts off with a yellow cone and the flowers open from the bottom up over time. Then the flowers last just a few months, but they're worth it.
DeleteYour thumb is green while mine is black!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; this plant isn't mine, it grows in the yard down the road a bit, but I'd love the chance to try it in my garden. A lot of the time my thumb is brown.
DeleteVery pretty....very dainty. :)
ReplyDeleteLee; and yet quite large overall. The spread of the strappy leaves is wide and once the flowers open from the yellow cone the spread from those is maybe dinner plate sized.
DeleteOh my gosh, that is sooo pretty.
