Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week Mama and I are going to show you the Daffodils and Lenten Roses blooming at the ABQ Botanic Garden.
The Lenten Roses are so pretty in the sunlight, don't you think??
Look at this one with the sun shining behind it!
Mama saw two different colors. The dark purple, like this one....
...and lighter blooms with purple edges!
The daffies were just finishing blooming when Mama visited.
She did find a few nice collections of blooms
Did you know that daffodils are sometimes called Lent lilies because they, like Lenten roses, also usually bloom during the same time as lent.
There are over 200 varieties of Daffodils!
Always remember to be the daffodil in a field of dirt!
We hope you enjoyed todays look at the daffies and Lenten Roses Mama found and, as always, we hope all our friends get out and see some nature this weekend!

We love the Lenten Roses and the Daffies and we never knew they were called Lent Lilies!
ReplyDeletemy favorite Lentin is Lentin Sunny today, I have never heard of or seen the Lentin roses and they are stunning. NOT more stunning that you Sunny.
ReplyDeleteMom doesn't ever recall seeing lentin roses before. They kind of look wilted but they also look very pretty and delicate. Happy Friday and Nelson says he is going to be a daffodil in the mud this weekend but Mom said that isn't going to happen, LOL!

ReplyDeleteThe flowers are pretty ... but as always, you're our favorite "blossom"!
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Our Dada says I'm more likely to be an excavator in a field of dirt than a daffodil. Should I be insulted? I think I should maybe be insulted ..."
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, it's true though!"
Lulu: "Oh yes it's 100% true."
