So late this summer, early autumn, while I was watering my mums I would see this gal hanging out on them for a few days. It must have been a good spot to catch dinner for this female Praying Mantis. She was pretty cooperative with me taking a photo or two. 😁
Happy Monday and happy new week! For Valentine's Day I received some flowers. One of them in the arrangement was this neat giant Mum which I found rather photogenic. I'd love to grow some like this one.
Happy Friday, TGIF! Today's image is a lovely autumn one but I actually took it last year. My Mums did not flower very well this year due the drought and my lack of care. They did live so hopefully they will recover and do OK next year. Sharing this image for today due to the lovely bokeh because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!
Happy Monday and new week! My yellow mini Mum was quite lovely a week ago before the hard freeze. I love how the yellow flowers turn an orange - bronze color as they age. The younger color is the very blurred one at the top left. 😁
This is a group of some of the flowers I received on Valentines Day in a lovely mixed bouquet. These are one of the variety of Mums that was in it and a Carnation for a pop of color. I shot them against a dark background in the morning sunlight.
I planted some mini Mums by the Gazebo this year and this one I had to put a cage around. It was closest to the Gazebo and must be tasty as something, I believe a Pack Rat kept eating on it. After I did that it recovered and did pretty well. I took this image after the first hard frost we had and, as you can see, it was still blooming nicely. I planted this color and then a more golden one that must not have tasted as good. 😏
