I’ve been capturing a lot of flowers lately. We’re still waiting on the Calla lilies, the daisies, the clematis and the hydrangea. Everything else is blooming or almost done blooming. Special bonus photos at the bottom.
DIANTHUS!!! (Yes, I’m yelling – look at this thing!)White peony with dashes of pink. Yes, they smell divine. Unfortunately, the rains have decimated the peonies. This is my lavender seedling. Unfortunately, the rains have caused this little guy to struggle. Lavender does not like a lot of rain, and that’s all the skies are giving.BLUE HASTA is taking up so much space I had to clip some of the leaves in the back of the plant so that the Calla lilies could survive. They are not quite blooming.Wild strawberry growing amongst the clover.Coral-colored rose. Yes, it smells divine.Susie watching birds.Ma’am. I can’t resist her little hands folded like that. Yesterday we almost had a crisis, however. Ma’am was over-eager for the peanuts and tried to enter the house. Crisis averted.Don’t ask me how, but I captured this male cardinal in mid-flight. He loves peanuts. He will yell at me through the window if he sees me in the house. He doesn’t go to bed until very late, and will yell at me until about 8:30pm. I yell back that he should be in bed by now, he’s a bird.
Lovely photos, Amy. I’ve been taking some of our backyard and fountain to send to the Mr who is so far away right now. He loves seeing pictures of home.
Happy Sunday! The flowers were gorgeous this year! I just noticed the clematis are starting to bloom – photos coming when they are in full bloom. I just told Susie you said hello, and I will tell Miss Ma’am when she tries to break and enter into the “restaurant” and help herself to the peanuts. I’ll let Mr. Reds know you were inquiring about him. 😊♥️
“It's Amy,” I said. 
Nice photos. I saw a female cardinal about an hour ago. I saw the male of the likely pair yesterday. They are rare around here.

Thanks. Cardinals here don’t migrate they stay all winter. I’m glad you were able to see the pair. They’re stunning in the snow.

Thanks, Chris. That was pure luck. Cardinals fly quickly, especially when they have peanuts in their mouths. 😊

So beautiful. Nice to remember that it’s Spring! Heat has been terrible in Miami this week, not at all Spring-y. 🙂

The rain is obviously benefiting the flowers!

It is, except it squished the peonies. They’re all slumped over like they’ve had a bit too much to drink. And, well, they have – too much rain. 😊

Oh no! I’m desperately hoping for rain here today. All day yesterday I was looking for grey clouds, but not yet.
Perhaps the peonies will have a new lease on life today. 🙂

The peonies are done for I think. Not much to be done about mother nature.
