Flowers make me happy! They are so amazing in such a small, little thing. But they are all so different, it can only be because our God is so amazing and so caring in every detail, even rain at birthday parties. They bring me joy to many a boring and mundane day.
My clematis is climbing, just wait until it blooms!! I love the arbor Kevin built for me!
Such a perfect frame for this perfect vine!

This blue thing that I can't remember the name and it's driving me crazy! I like knowing all the names of the plants and flowers! Cute little "hen with some chicks" beside it.
Apple tree got planted... no more life from the old tree
Columbine- not the high school shooting! These are so amazing but not until you look at them from underneath. They hang over like a bluebell.
Is this blurry? or is just my eyes?

Stop and smell some roses today, or other flowers :)
Maybe some sweet peas, they smell the best!

ok fellow flower-lover -- wanna know the coolest thing about columbines? 'Columba' is latin for 'dove' -- which is why this flower was traditionally a symbol for the Holy Spirit. Gently pull off one of the petal-pieces, and hold it so that the wider, open part is 'sitting' on your hand. See how it looks like a dove? with the narrow bit rising up into a beak?
Now in England they call the same flower 'Aquilegea'. 'Aquilla' is latin for 'eagle'. Flip your dove upside-down, and voila: an eagle's talon.
Cool, huh?! (couldn't resist -- now to bed!)
;)
It looks beautiful!
First: I'd stop to smell some flowers if there were any growing in the frigid land of Alberta! I won't see sweet peas for another month!
Second: I love Kirstin's heads-up about the Columbine. I can't wait to try that tomorrow. :)
