Howdy all, Fred the Flamingo and I are here today to celebrate Nature Friday with a look at some flowers we have blooming in our backyard!
First, Mama wanted me to thank you for all your thoughts during this ruff time, and apologize for missing Nature Friday last week. Thanks so much for your pawsitive thoughts and understanding.
Now, let's take a look at some flowers!
The Russian Sage is blooming a pretty purple
The hummingbirds really enjoy the Cedar Sage
The Blue Salvia is still blooming
The Prairie Coneflowers like to sway in the breeze
All these flowers sure do make us smile!
The Texas Yucca is blooming and is now growing these little seed pods! The pretty pale green looks pretty next to the pink flowers, don't you think?
I know we keep saying this, but Mama and I are amazed at the type of flowers blooming here in the high desert! We never thought we would see a giant hibiscus flower here in New Mexico!
There is a little pink Primrose patch right by the patio that surprised us when it started blooming!
This kniphofia also goes by the names "Red Hot Poker Plant" or "Torch Lily". We think it looks like a pretty sunset!
...and finally Mama's favorite, a deep red day lily!
Thanks for tagging along with Fred the Flamingo and me on this Flowery Nature Friday!
We hope everpawdy gets out to enjoy some flower fun this weekend!
that are beautiful flowers and wonderful colors... we love the yucca the seed pods are interesting.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful variety of beautiful flowers you have in your back yard Rosy. I'm sure Fred the Flamingo appreciates them too. I hope that they also are helping your dear Mama through this ruff time.

ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous, Rosy dear... though you threw me with mention of 'primrose' for they are nothing like the ones I know. A search ensued and I discover these Pink Ladies are part of the genus knowns as "evening primrose" - but... Pink evening primrose populations, in the southern part of their natural range open their flowers in the morning and close them every night. (Wiki) which is most confusing! Whatevs, they are indeed very pretty!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
The flowers are all very pretty. We are amazed that you know what they all are. We don't even know the names of our own plants, LOL! Happy Friday!

ReplyDeleteNiece Rosy...Russian Sage and Texas Yucca are 2 we have never seen. Mama surly knows her plants. You dear one look very much adorable in your visor, bandana and shades.
ReplyDeleteTell mama we send continue to send lots of thoughts
Hugs Aunty C
Those are all such pretty flowers and lots of them are the kind that hummingbirds like. We've been trying to find red hot pokers around here but have been out of luck. We used to have some but that was a long time ago and they died.
ReplyDeleterosy is gorgeous! the prettiest blossom of them all. I adore flamingos so thank you! And now I know what's blooming in my patio pot, a prairie cone flower. Wish mine was your color, all of my wild flower mix seems to be yellow this year, but I'm glad they are blooming at all in this heat.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nature and beautiful you, Rosy. I always enjoy your nature posts.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend. Scritches all around and my best to your peeps. ♥

ReplyDeleteCharlee: "We're 100% in favor of any sort of flower that attracts hummingbirds, butterflies ..."
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "... bees, moths ..."
Charlee: "Basically anything that moves erratically that we can stare at."
Lulu: "Well meanwhile, aside from the cats looking for things to stare at, we're keeping up the tail wags for your family!"
Java Bean: "Yes we are!"
