Just looked in the greenhouse and this is budding all over the place as I removed foliage to balance the rootage I had to remove to fit it in to the 15" drum pot :)
Looks like it took the disturbance in it's stride! (There was still plenty of fibrous feeder roots present even after it was reduced for the dish :) )
It was a hot day today but the sun was shining. I decided to take a few pictures around the property where my wife and I reside. Last fall we purchased the mums. They bloomed again this spring. I noticed a second round of blossoms is beginning on some of the plants.
Chasing raindrops on our garden plants between showers is a wonderful way to celebrate Spring during "Stay-At-Home." Our Japanese Maple is beginning to bud and is beautifully decked out in sparkling raindrops today.

Budding musicians hone their craft using our soundproofed audio suites and work with staff who have worked in industry.
So first the girl (see previous), now, the boy…
It is great that their mum gave them proper canvasses to work on; they had taken it much more serious than they would just paper. It reflected in the care and detail in the paintwork.
His are the two outer ones.
He normally runs off when he sees my camera, but not here, after I had explained to them how important it is for an Artist to be seen with their work.
He even gave me a lovely smile, probably because he knew it wouldn’t take long , he’d observed attentively, when I photographed his sister, if he hadn’t liked what he saw, he would have ran… I know him!
No, a HUGE success
The paintings are fairly high on the wall, but I liked that, it emphasizes how young and little he is.
I know it’s edgy, but that’s really how I want it, it looks so much better.
The comp of an image is a very personal thing; I understand this is not to everyone’s taste.
Taken with natural light.
I wish you a sunny day and thanx for your time and comments, I really appreciate it, Magda, (*_*)

The girls decided to do portraits of each other today. I guess this goes to show that we don't all have the same level of talent. We can't all be good at everything!

Queen of the Night, Andes Organ Pipe, Hedge Cactus (Cereus hildmannianus)
This is a photo taken yesterday as I was leaving the grocery store located in the
same shopping center around 11:30 am of a night blooming cactus flower.
There were twelve or more buds ready to open. The flowers only open at night
and by dawn they're already closing up. So I went back at 11:30 pm to shoot
the next image www.flickr.com/photos/16489083@N05/5968171394/in/photostr... .
The flowers open just once and then die. Spectacular sight!!!
And neatest of all this huge cactus plant is blooming in a flower bed
just outside a local resturant!!

Freesias are very popular garden plants, grown for their often strongly scented flowers. The most commonly cultivated species is F. refracta, which was crossed with F. leichtlinii in the 19th century. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these species and the pink- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have flowers ranging from white to yellow, pink, red and blue-mauve. They are widely cultivated and readily increased from seed. Due to their specific and pleasing scent, they are often used in hand creams, shampoos, candles, etc.
