Flowers on Friday by Scylla

Our Bugleweed is blooming, we like the blue spikes with the purple and green leaves. We just wish it would hurry up and fill up the whole bed. See the pretty hummingbird, it is a rain gauge. Mommy gave it to Daddy for their 21st anniversary.

The hibiscus are blooming up a storm.

I like to hide in the hibiscus. It is nice and cool under their leaves.

It is well known that we Portuguese once sailed the seven seas searching for new lands, wealth and adventures.
We were brave in those days and gave the world new worlds!

Luckily I don’t have to sail the big oceans on a small ship to sea the wonders of our world …
No Sir, I just need to check with Mr. Tom, the finest host there is, for a trip around the world with SKY WATCH TOURS and with a click here, a click there I am quickly in the USA, England, Brazil, Italy, China, Australia, Finland … well, everywhere.

And on each stop I come to see a little marvel of our world under a great sky!
Hope you can come and see my piece of the sky at lenses & visions

I don´t think mine will be a match to yours but even so ...

What a lush garden, very different from our desert environment!

Mom tried hybiscus, without success. It seems they require watering....

Alastriona, The Cats and Dogs said...

Luckily ours don't as Mommy is VERY BAD about forgetting to water things. We did plant them by the pond, so the water table is fairly high there, which probably helps. Most of the stuff down there is draught tolerant.

We have also been lucky enough to get rain when we need it, they seem to bloom more when we get rain. ~Socks, S & C

That looks like a lovely place to hide, Scylla..and you might see the odd mouse or vole saunter by..mightn't you? Thanks for coming by to see me!

Alastriona, The Cats and Dogs said...

You are very welcome Angus, we wish we could visit our friends more often. It's a great place for viewing birds. For a mouse or vole we lay under the azaleas as there is a field next to them full of mousies and voles. You shall have to come visit us and go hunting. ~Scylla
