More Travel - More Flowers

 I'm off again....

Tomorrow I will head to Michael's in Alabama for a couple week/longer visit. He has been here in Virginia for a week just waiting for Memorial day traffic to thin out and we will take off south. It should be warmer down there. I think it will fit me better since we are having some cooler temps these last few days. The older I get, the colder my body temp is. I look forward to temps that are above 60s.  

Then, I am going to come home and keep myself put for awhile. Don't you think that is a good idea? I do!

I hope all of you had a good Memorial Day weekend.  I don't have anyone in my close family that we lost in war but I do know so many families that have. 

I will leave you with some random photos of flowers. 

I have always loved this plant. It's a watermelon Pepperonia. I had one many years ago, just don't see them for purchase much any more. 


Sweet Shrub is another plant that you don't see much anymore. I remember the sweet aroma of the blossoms. The ones I have seen more recently just didn't have that smell. Too sad. 


A Cat's Ear dandelion. Just growing along the side of the road. 


There's not a lot of Grancy Greybeard Trees around either. I love how feathery they look. 


This one is a Mexican Bush Sage. One the residents here at the Commons has this one. It is so pretty when it blooms every year. 


This is a Moon Vine that I had before I moved here. 


Guess I have bored you enough. Take care. I'll be back on blogger when I return.

  5. Love seeing all of the beautiful flowers. I love the scent of that beautiful tree. I have one in my yard and mama always calls it Granddaddy's beard or Fringe tree. Grancy greybeard is first time I heard it called that. I do not see many anymore around and love the one in my yard. I heard they are very hard to transplant. The moon vine is beautiful, it almost glows at night.

  7. What a wonderful new adv enture you will be having, Latane. And, maybe your idea of resting up for a while when you return is what you will need with your whirlwind travel schedule. 😀

  10. Hello, I’m catching up with all your news. I adore seeing all these plants. I think I saw a moon vine once, does it flower at nightime? I went trekking at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, melted my boots - but that’s another story :) I recall a beautiful flower, which looked similar, which I only saw bloom in the night. I don’t blame it, would have been frazzled in the day. I planted a magnolia tree just last week for my birthday, hope it takes, the soil at the farm is clay, although we added some special compost to the mix. I hope your visit to Alabama is going well. Xx
