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

Magnolia is a large genus of about 210 flowering plant species in the subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae. Magnolia is an ancient genus. Appearing before bees did, the flowers are theorized to have evolved to encourage pollination by beetles. To avoid damage from pollinating beetles, the carpels of Magnolia flowers are extremely tough. The flowers are bisexual with numerous adnate carpels and stamens are arranged in a spiral fashion on the elongated receptacle. The natural range of Magnolia species is a disjunct distribution, with a main center in east and southeast Asia and a secondary center in eastern North America, Central America, the West Indies, and some species in South America. 37830

Springs colors are slowly making their way into my garden. Still getting cold temps dipping down to the 20's F at night.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Have a great weekend!

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...

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!

What a beautiful old Victorian house. The colors and architecture pulled me in, but look at the porches. I love the one above the front door. The large porch spans the front and side of the house. The pretty front entrance with the faux columns is another plus.

I see it still has its lightening rods entact. I’m guessing turn of the century on the age of this house.

I am happy to see work has begun on the porch and right side of the house. It doesn’t look like it is being lived in at present. I hope this one is fully restored.

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.

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