Salyx, having a wee shady moment on the new garden sofa...

We built this behemoth in June...from old pallets and new decking. I thought it was a good idea. It weighs a bloomin’ tonne! It is more than seven ft long, at one point. Also, I had to buy some sheds in which to keep the over-the-top-expensive cushions.

Anyway...not content with lying under a tree or a bush, Madam decided that comfort was top of the agenda.

Leucanthemum × superbum, the Shasta daisy, is a commonly grown flowering herbaceous perennial plant with the classic daisy appearance of white petals (ray florets) around a yellow disc, similar to the oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare Lam, but larger. It originated as a hybrid produced in 1890 by the American horticulturist Luther Burbank from a number of daisies. First, he crossed Leucanthemum vulgare with Leucanthemum maximum (Ramond) DC.; this double hybrid was itself crossed with Leucanthemum lacustre (Brot.) Samp. The resulting Leucanthemum triple hybrid was crossed with Nipponanthemum nipponicum (Franch. ex Maxim.) Kitam., creating an intergeneric cross of species from three continents. It was named after Mount Shasta, because its petals were the color of the snow. Some members of the genus are considered noxious weeds, but the Shasta daisy remains a favorite garden plant. 4619

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 30074

Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. Thanks for your visit and comments, my friends. I hope you're all staying safe and healthy): All the best to you, my friends...

A pink tulip growing very nicely in the garden this spring

These carefree flowers were growing alongside the sidewalk. I thought they were quite pretty and deserved to be photographed. For Sliders Sunday, I took them to Topaz Studio for editing, colour enhancement and addition of a texture. HSS!

P.S. I have BIG news! I am moving and will be away from Flickr tomorrow and for another day or two after that. Wish me luck, cuz I'm gonna need it! I'll catch up with your awesome images when I get back!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day week ahead!

This building in downtown Beardstown, Illinois was completed in 1889 as a clubhouse for the Beardstown Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In recent years it has housed an antique mall. Glad to see this old-timer survive into the 21st century, but I'm not quite sold on the color.

Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two commonplace species worldwide. Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. 17473

One of our storms last winter was just so pretty! I shot this during an amazing sunset on the golf course in Quincy MA

A few weeks back I took this shot of the Yellow-rumped Warbler enjoying the warm Autumn weather. Now not only are they gone but most of the leaves had fallen too.

Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring flowering perennial plants of the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae. Various common names including daffodil, narcissus and jonquil are used to describe all or some members of the genus. The species are native to meadows and woods in southern Europe and North Africa with a centre of diversity in the Western Mediterranean, particularly the Iberian peninsula. They are predominantly spring perennial plants. They have conspicuous flowers with six petal-like tepals surmounted by a cup- or trumpet-shaped corona. The flowers are generally white or yellow or orange or pink, with either uniform or contrasting coloured tepals and corona. 36896

At the moment it's snowing outside, the first snow of the season, boo hoo! You know what? I'd much rather be seeing pretty lilies any day of the week. Lightly edited in Topaz Studio 2. HSS!

Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day!

One of the species I always wanted to see on our trips to Costa Rica was the acorn woodpecker. He is not only beautiful but a very interesting little bird. Much of his time his taken up with looking for acorns and burying them in the trunk of the trees. Always thrilled to see him !!

Wishing you a lovely and blessed rest of your day !!!
