multi-hued poppy in shades of pink, ochre, & white seemingly painted on the petals

Right now, in particular, I’m so grateful for all the amazing Bluesky gardeners, sharing moments of beauty. 🌱

Beautiful moment.

Stunning! Taking refuge in my garden feed…thank you.

Thank you. Needed this moment to take a breath.

Dendrobium aphyllum, Hooded Orchid. Long, cascading silver-green stems, producing a waterfall of star-shaped flowers in delicate shades of white and cool lavender-pink. An apple – green wall is in the background, at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Conservatory

Schomburgkia undulata orchid flowers. Looking like a sea creature, thin white stems form a spherical cluster of frilly magenta and burgundy colored flowers. -photo taken at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Conservatory

ffs, what is wrong with people?

Sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean…solid slate-blue clouds on the right contrast with pale blue sky and delicate puffs of white clouds. The horizon is a pale peach hue and the calm ocean water is pearly gray.

Lovely

From last year‘s spring garden, a lovely species tulip, Tulipa tarda. It was first cultivated commercially in 1590. The flowers open to a star shape during sunny days, each petal is a clear lemon-yellow with a with pure white tips.

Right now, bulbs and buds are nestled under a foot of snow, but the sky is blue today the snow is melting… spring is on its way…🌱

Venturing out into Prospect Park after the weekend blizzard. On a pathway through trees and snow, a neighborhood dog walker shepherds 11 dogs through the park. Note, the dogs are very all well-behaved.

Everyone and every dog happy to no longer being snowbound! 🌱

Thank you! Yes, I love living in a climate with four distinct seasons. 💚

And 2 more hours to go!

My Park Slope roof deck garden…

A summer view of the deck garden… Assortment of perennials, annuals, ornamental grasses and shrubs… chartreuse, green, rosy-pink, orange, white, purple

View out to the deck garden this morning amidst the historic New York blizzard. Lots and lots and lots of snow blanket the plants and garden table and chairs.

Four more hours of ❄️❄️❄️❄️ yet to come!

Soft morning light still life… three terra-cotta pots with amaryllis bulbs in bloom. The tall, green stems have white and salmon-pink blossoms…also an iron pot planted with a sage-green succulent. On the right, the white column of a mantle and a glass vase holding willow stems.

Maybe he should send a boat to dredge the Potomac

Haaa, I needed the laugh.

We’ll need a lot of boats…more than 27 million Americans do not have health insurance, mainly because they cannot afford it.

❄️ What!!? ❄️❄️❄️
Just when the last storm’s 18” of snow had melted from atop my emerging 🌱spring bulbs…🌿

Layered leaves of a succulent. The fleshy leaves are edged in creamy-white, with a blush of pink alongthe edges. The center band is soft, celadon sea-green.

Rosettess of ornamental cabbage leaves. The layered petals are ivory-white with finely ruffled edges. The center leaves are pale celadon-green.

Senecio foliage..silvery gray leaves, with hues of celadon. In the lower left is a coleus plant with burgundy-purple and pink leaves.
