Our azaleas are at different stages of blooming, some in full bloom, some just beginning to produce buds, and some fading.
The Indian hawthorne is in full bloom, while the dwarf azaleas in the background are beginning to fade. The dwarf azaleas bloom several times a year, usually with a display around Christmas, which is lovely.
As you see, this bush is just about covered with flowers.
St Francis points to the lovely azalea blooms - or perhaps he points to the birdie. Who can tell?
Our shrimp plant is not the greatest beauty in our garden, but the hummingbirds like to visit, so we must keep it going.
Diana lolls in the yard guarding, but not eating, her dog bone. Diana, we don't want your bone. Truly.
As regular readers know, Diana lost one diseased eye through an accident, but she was already nearly blind in the eye. Her remaining eye is clouded over, and she doesn't see well out of it. In addition, she suffers from arthritis and is going deaf. Poor old girl. Old age is not for sissies.

ReplyDeleteGood girl.
Beautiful, beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteSt Francis looks rather grumpy, in fact even grumpier than Diana.
JCF, Diana is generally a good girl, but she does not listen. It's our fault though, because we didn't train her well.
ReplyDeleteCathy, St Francis is turning green. It's not easy being green, you know.
NIce to know spring is sprung somewhere. Izzie commiserates with Diana.
ReplyDeleteAmelia, tell Izzie thanks and that Diana only minds the arthritis. She does quite well in spite of her other two challenges.
