Orange zinnia, purple angelonia, white tradescantia, lavender leaves, violet lantanta, blue daze round out this bouquet photographed in my agave beds. Thanks for visiting Tropical Texana in Houston, Texas.
Keeping a positive outlook during a prolonged drought is not the easiest thing to do. I added up the days and we are now on day 32 without a good rain. This is our second time to reach these numbers (I was up to day 40 just a month or so ago). So what's there to do whilst waiting for rain? Beside praying for rain, I'll PICK FLOWERS and give them to my wife. Thanks to Noelle at
http://www.azplantlady.com/ for hostin' this wonderful collection on her garden blog. You will need to scroll down one post to see this month's collection of 9 bouquets. BTW: A month sure flies by....it just seems like yesterday that I posted a bouquet. Wow! :-) Happy Gardening and may you get R-A-I-N if you're dry as bone in your garden home.
Oh, I do love this month's bouquet....okay, I have enjoyed each one of yours, but I must admit that I love the combination of blue and orange flowers together.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you receive some rain soon....
Have a great weekend!
I know where you are coming from, we had a wet summer this year, but for the last couple of weeks no rain in sight. This is our dry season and it looks like is going to be a long one.
ReplyDeleteWow, love those vivid colors! Does make me feel bright and cheery. Hope you get some rain soon!
ReplyDeleteIt sucks that you're also getting a drought. You did create a beautiful bouquet though!
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous bouquet & I know the Mrs. appreciated it. Today is Day 47 without rain for my corner of Katy. I'm despondent and dejected. Being forced to stay inside by the heat and humidity is nothing new ... but having to do it at the end of October is just plain wrong!
ReplyDeleteHold on just a minute ... I happened to glance at your picture on the left sidebar and it finally clicked! I know where you teach, Mr P: stop on your way home someday and say hi!
ReplyDeleteLove the little gathering of flowers - the colors are so bright and happy! :0)
