False Shamrock
It was St Patrick’s Day Party. Me and my son had fun playing so many games. But we did not have any Irish Luck as the games progressed. No prizes were won. My boy was behaving really good and he was moving all around and I was happy that he was enjoying the party. My…

The cold has arrived!
The weather dropped below freezing today morning. Again we are below our average. So it is like we are above or below average temperatures. It seems like Mother Nature wants all of us to get used to ups and downs. Is it not same with our lives. We will be walking more inside the recreation…

Tomatoes
It has been a warm week. The tomato plants have new flowers!!! By the end of next week, temperatures will be dropping and these flowers will not be able to survive. Feeling a bit sad for them. By the way tomatoes are fruits and not vegetables. I think this is one of the most cooked…

Florist Daisy (Mums)
My Spring Mums faded and I put them aside only to notice a few days back they have buds and now I have Fall flowers. I never expected them to bloom again. Truly excited since I didn’t do anything other than water them even when they weren’t blooming. So next year when I buy these…

Common Chicory
I promised myself I would be much more observant of the nature when I go for a walk. I have been good and have been observing more this summer. One flower picture I clicked on my walk in September got missed out. Only today the picture me app taught me what this was. This is…

Victory
My marigold and zinnias had to fight with the bunny in my garden for their survival. Every sprout was munched away. I feel with this full bloom, it looks as if they reached their finish line successfully. The plants were in an untenable position most of the summer but all of a sudden they finally…

Poinsettia
Finally able to join Cee’s and Judy’s Alphabet challenge today. I even did a blog on these lovely plants in December. I tried to maintain them all winter but they couldn’t survive. CEE’s FOTD and Judy From Life lessons

Okra
This summer I planted two pots with okra seeds. Only one pot yielded and that too a few. As the summer closes down I was surprised to see the other pot too blooming. For Cee’s FOTD .

Garden Lily
I do not shop at the garden center during fall. I am not confident about planting bulbs for the spring. But I did do some window shopping and found these beautiful lilies. My plant identification app called this Orange Lily and it seems it represents confidence, pride and wealth. For Cee’s Flower of the Day!

Canada Goldenrod
I found these plants in front of the visitor center in Ohiopyle State Park. Looked ornamental but they are perennial and native to North America. For Cee’s Flower of the Day!

Crepe Myrtle
We are on a road trip this week and I am currently in Tennesse. I thought the plant outside my hotel to be rose but it looked different as I approached it closer. The leaves look like those of roses. For Cee’s FOTD
-
Rose of Sharon
Another hibiscus variety from my garden. After two years this plant has grown well and is blooming good. It seems this is a drought resistant plant and needs little water. Starting July 15th until November 15 the Hindu calendar is full of festivals and my altar in my prayer room gets decorated by these flowers.…

Dense blazing star
I am having fun with my plant identifying app. It is really addictive. For Cee’s FOTD

Siberian Iris
These are similar to bearded iris and bloom around the same time but their petals are thinner them. For Cee’s Flower of the Day

Virginia Sweetspire
My Dad was curious what plant this was . So here is it for him. This looks like jasmine buds made into a garland. For Cee’s FOTD

Yellow Daylily
This flower was hidden under a bush as my son hunted for yellow color in our garden as we did a nature color hunt! For Cee’s Flower of the Day!

Tea Roses
Not from my garden but from a church where my son attends a program. Roses are plenty this time around and I see it everywhere. I am doing one blog per day journaling the activities I do with my boys during the month of June, but do not want to miss out on this challenge…

Fragrant Planatain Lily
Another brown thumb plant says my plant app. But I did kill one of them last year. It was very tempting to pick more of these today at the nursery but settled by just taking pictures. It is time I maintain what I have already. Ragtag prompt was lilac and I thought I was hitting…
-
Amur Honeysuckle
The flowers are tiny but they smell so good. My plant finder says it is an invasive one, and yes they are from my experience too. They grow really big and there is no maintenance. The early morning breeze spreads it sweet smell around. For Cee’s Flower of the Day!
-
Bearded iris
The flowers have both upright petals and cascading petals. At the center of the cascading petal is a small fur that looks like a beard. So comes the name. Even with the beard these flowers are snazzy! For Cee’s FOTD and Ragtag community’s word snazzy
