My garden has blooming blue lupins and a cup and saucer in mid-air that fills with rain water. A four foot rod attaches onto the bottom of the saucer and suspends it, looking like it's the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
Speaking of mad, I'm just crazy about this salmon pink Oriental Poppy.
I love this burnt orange "Devil's Paintbrush" that blooms in ditches all over the countryside this time of year. Kind of matches my hair?
I bought a package of seeds in Oregon in 2003 and these cheerful flowers now bloom every year in my front garden. Does anyone know what kind of flower this is?
Tradescantia virginiana aka Spiderwort
ReplyDeleteI have the same ones in my blue/pink/purple garden and I'm happy to know the name now, thanks to Jen. I also have them in white and blue. They love moist ground and half sun.
ReplyDeleteI used to have these on Vancouver Island but forgot the name, so thanks, Jen.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I have the purple ones in my shade garden... the flowers close at sunset... *sounds like a line from a bad mystery novel, right after "it was a dark and stormy night..."*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the name, Jen
Thanks for the photos, Ronna!
Love that levitating teacup. And red hair is great! You look mahvelous with the Devil's Paintbrush.
ReplyDelete"Devil's Paintbrush"? Isn't that your hair colour?
ReplyDeletethat poppy is to die for!
