Misty Mandevilla
It was hot here today. REALLY HOT!
Fortunately we got this little mister thing from the hardware store.
We hooked it up to our hose and made our
little back yard a little cooler.
After it was on for a while I noticed a nice effect on some of the
plants near it.

Agapanthus Buds
Another of my rare morning shots. The light is nice
in the morning, and I really try to take advantage of it when
I am conscious. But that is a rather rare occurrence in the morning.

Icing Rose
This is one of several small roses we got recently.
The color of this one reminds me of a nice butter-cream
frosting rose. And I would write more but I have to go get
a snack now, it's making me hungry!

Agapanthus in the Rain
It rained heavily last night, and this morning we
got to see the SUN! It has been gray for so long I did
not know how to act!
Yeah I did, I grabbed my camera!
I was up uncharacteristically early waiting for a ride,
but as a reward I got to enjoy the morning sunlight in my front yard.

Bee's Eye View
A very cool flower at a different angle.
One of the best things about building this site
is it makes me stop and research my subjects a bit more.
Today I found out these guys are native to South Africa.
They can be grown from seeds, but the seeds are only
viable for 20 days. And, even if you get them to
grow in that short window, the resulting plants
may have no resemblance to the parent plant.

Lucifer Canna
My mom gave me this Canna many years ago and it is blooming again.
It was never very happy in a pot until we got two very tall (2.5 feet)
skinny (12") pots. It seems to love to put its roots down, way down.
It is called a Canna "Lily" but it
is more closely related to Ginger and Banana plants.

Canna Close-up
One of my favorite subjects,
flower closeups. This was actually the
theme of my first show at the Santa Barbara
Public Library in August '04
This one is a special favorite because
the plant was a gift from my mom
over six years ago, and it is still going strong.
