I don’t have anything to really blog about today so I thought I would share some pretty blossoms:
The dogwood with the fully mature blossoms much whiter flowers now than they were in the last photo taken
wild violets that grow all over the place here. I did not have any violets here when we first moved here almost 30 years ago now. About 10 years or so ago they washed in I guess and now they grow all over the place. Some people do not like them over taking their yards but I do not mind - our soil is not good and anything that grows = except actually weeds - is usually welcome.
this azalea had been given to me 22 years ago - it was a miniature but I had no place to really keep it in the house. I did not know if it would stay a miniature or not, but after after 6 years outside it took off and now is almost the same size as the other azalea plants that we have. This one has a salmon pink blossom that will be fully open next week I bet.
I mentioned awhile back that I love tulips but here in Arkansas if we do not get a cold enough winter they do not always come back in blossoms in the spring. This winter was colder and longer than normal and I have 5 tulip buds this year - one more red one is a way off to the side and not in this photo. 5 is better than none but I think I originally planted about 20 of them several years ago.
I have the flowers on the baby quilt all appliqued in place. I marked a grid on it off and on today and it is now ready for quilting. I had a wonderful pink and white plaid fabric that was so soft that I thought it would be perfect for the backing. I bought it last year on sale someplace in the world of quilting fabric on line and knew I would eventually use it for something. I will be using pink thread to quilt it.
