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 time of year, nature colors turn to browns and grays here in New Mexico. In order to find a bit of color, I searched Mama's Italy pictures on her phone and found some pretty pictures of a garden she and Daddy visited.
Mama says it is the garden of some palace she tell everyone about in a later post. For now, I will just show you the flowers.
OH, and this duck. I am pretty sure he ran the place!
They had ponds with pretty water lilies
Mama says these are called "Bitter Oranges" and are
used to make orange marmalade.
But the bestest flowers of all were, of course, the rosy roses!!
Look as this wall of colorful blooms!
Mama says they smelled sooooo good!
This one is my favorite. It is the perfect mix of pink and red!
A storm had just moved through before Mama's visit, so the roses were a little soggy, but they were still beautiful!
Thanks for stopping by to see some of the Italian flowers Mama found. I'll keep my eyes open to see what other nature she has been hiding on her phone.
Here's to a nature filled weekend!!

a wall with roses... just for rosy, right?
ReplyDeleteItalians create such beautiful gardens don't they? We call those bitter citrus naranji (but ours don't have a ribbed skin like that - and yes, they make spectacular marmalade).

Java Bean: "Ayyy, that's a lot of color and greenery around there! Our Dada's favorites are of course the things that are orange ..."
