Now, it's March. What else is new?

Twenty-twenty-one brings very few changes from the previous year. Still working from home, still wearing masks and applying hand sanitizer if not washing the hands. And still not traveling.

And if we're not driving around town, we're puttering in the garden. Still plenty of work needs to be done, but we do a little every week - an excuse to be outdoors and get our Vitamin D. I must be honest, while I get some semblance of happiness from gardening, it's not something I wholeheartedly enjoy. I know people who could weed and putter around the garden for hours and feel energized. But I love flowers - all kind of flowers and when they start showing up, I do too with my phone or camera in tow.

Succulent

Another succulent

Still another succulent

Hyacinth - tiny one - shows up every year with one tiny bloom.

Agapanthus is early this year - must be due to the warm winter

Geranium

Blueberry

Plum

Apple

Apricot

Walnut

My cymbidium orchids had seen years of neglect (I only water, no plant food) but every year they provide me with such beautiful blooms.

  1. I'm so very glad you have shown up with your camera/phone, Maria, because that's where you shine! Hopefully soon we'll all be vaccinated and can start our travels again. I'm counting on it! God willing and the creek don't rise, we plan to be in America come October!

  7. how wonderful your post it! Such variety in both shape and colors. Love them all and wish it was time for us in Sweden as well. But we got some additional snow today :(
    Re your question, no, I don´t collect dolls. My sister collect Barbi-dolls and sew dresses for her. I mainly use them for photography. :)

  10. Some flowers thrive on benign neglect...those orchids must not need plant food in your climate and soil. Yay! I am completely with you on loving flowers but Not gardening. I don’t miss that at all since we sold out to travel when we retired...but I’m sure glad other people enjoy it and let me take pictures of the resukts!
