June 26


It's nearly the end of June. The earth is full of fantastic colors and shapes.



 Some of the delphiniums have begun to bloom. I planted another tray of mixed color delphinium seeds this spring. We'll have to wait until next summer to see what shades they'll be.


 

Selenicereus grandiflorus

 


Selenicereus grandiflorus

After several years, the selenicereus plant has bloomed!.


 


The buds are quite interesting.  They start out as a fuzzy white spot on the stem, then grow to look like a rabbits' foot.


 


 The flower bud pushes through the fuzz and elongates. To the immature mind, this can be a great source of silly laughter...:)


 


A little more dignified...


 


Some white showing through


 


Almost ready


 


Like fireworks!
