Flower Friday Fandango


Our pomegranate tree is very happy this year. We pruned it a lot so I guess all the blossoms are due to that.

A bunch of the pomegranate blossoms fell off and they were pretty not to arrange on the grass with some Santa Barbara daisies.
The flowers on this Sage are so restrained, but I love the structure of them.
Good ol' Dusty Miller.
I know I've posted about the Angel's Trumpet many times now, but it's one of the plants I'm the happiest about lately. It just smells so good. I can smell it up on the second floor and at night it's heavenly.
It's fun to stand underneath and look up into all the yellow.

I need to add this one to my shadows tag.

Calendula is a lot like a mini-sun.
The first daylily I planted, kind of a gnarly color, but I still enjoy it.
One of my nemesis, the St. Johns Wort, it's taken over a hillside and is creeping into my flowerbed. It's very hard to dig up, the runners are deep and strung. 
Another nemesis, the wild Sweet Pea. It reseeds and is so prolific. Right now it's battling the St. John's Wort and I can't decide who to root for.

And not a flower, but the result of a flower, our plum tree. It's so old and lichen-filled, we don't know how much longer it will be productive. It's at least 30 years old by now, and the plums are still very sweet.

That picture with the pomegranate blossoms is beautiful. I don't know if I have ever seen pomegranate blossoms. I see an art quilt or a print on the wall in your future. ;-)
