February 21’s Friday Fleurday

I saw some buds on the ash tree saplings lining one of the city streets! I unfortunately didn’t have any kind of photographic device with me in order to post a picture here, but these little buds were a wonderful sight to see!

Azaleas

In that spirit, I’m posting some spring flower pictures from last year; I hope they brighten your spirits and help you to forget for a bit about the cold, the wet, the snow, and the wind.

Happy Friday!

Looking on the Bright Side

In anticipation of the warmer months and because so much of the country is presently – and quite literally – struggling through massive snow banks and/or mentally just trying to fight off the icicles and snow flakes, here are a few summer pictures.

Sunflowers
Pink rose
Fan flowers
Pond lily
Hydrangeas
Cornflower
A gaggle of pink roses.

After taking a look through my collection of flower pictures, I definitely feel a lot brighter!

Happy Wednesday.

Rain, Rain, Go Away …

We have some chunky rain – rain with snow crystals – falling at the moment, so I think it’s time for something a little brighter than what I’m seeing outside right now.

Penticton is smothered in a very grey, chilly and rainy overcast.

There definitely will be sights like these again, thankfully.

A late August pond lily.
Wine grapes and blue skies. Do you need much more?
A beautiful late July evening – it was about 40C (104F) that day. Can you feel the heat?
A late June rose.

I enjoyed this little colourful break. I hope you did, too, especially if you’re in the rain or snow zone.

December 13’s Friday Fleurday

Because we’re in Victoria’s very temperate climate right now, we’re seeing lots of late-flowering plants and shrubs that are absolute December delights.

Lots of very pretty, dark pink bell heather flowers everywhere …
… and a closer image.
Aren’t these pretty? I think they are a type of hesperantha, a plant that doesn’t bloom until December – if it’s in the right climate.

Happy Friday.
