Alastriona, The Cats & Dogs: Thursday in the Garden

Thursday in the Garden

Our pineapple is doing well.

The Persian Shield and Porterweed Mommy got is thriving.

Now we are going to teleport to Grandma & Grandpa's House to look at their flowers.

These roses were blooming at Grandma & Grandpa's house when she went to visit for their Anniversary, August 10th.

We thinks this is an Althea, Grandma calls it an Alfie but we can't find a plant called Alfie, so we thinks this is one of those plants that Grandma misnamed. Grandma does that a lot. Whatever these are Mommy loves them, but the one Grandma gave Mommy died.

Hope you enjoyed the flowers. ~ATCAD

Alastriona, The Cats and Dogs said...: Nope, it's really that red. It had purple flowers the week after we took this picture. We will show you soon. We thinks when it is ripe it will be more like you see in the store.; 8/20/2015 10:35 AM
Alastriona, The Cats and Dogs said...: We are hoping to eat the pineapple, this is the first year it has made fruit, so we are learning about it.; 8/20/2015 10:36 AM
