Random Wonderings





"Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always
beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may
alight upon you."

-- Nathaniel Hawthorne
 First hibiscus bloom.

 What makes this hydrangea multi-colored?

 Who planted this sunflower in the front flower bed?
 A volunteer, but what is it?  Here's the fruit.
 Here are the leaves.  Any suggestions?
 Cucumbers
 When will these tomatoes ripen?



 Thank you Betsy for Tennesse for sending these sempervivum (hens & chicks).

  1. That looks like a melon to me :) and your tomatoes are no longer deep green so they should be ripening very soon.

    1. Jenny - thanks for responding. A melon? I hadn't thought of that but it doesn't resemble any melon that I know I have eaten. The seeds came from my compost for sure. And I hope you're right about the tomatoes.

  3. The light color of it makes me think that the Patty Pan Squash (in the bottom right here) crossed with my pie pumpkin that I brought for Thanksgiving. Who knows!

  5. Wonderful looking flowers and veggies Marcia!
    I know that you know that the ph in the soil determines the color of Hydrangeas...so it is odd that you have a white bloom. This is puzzling.
