Hello my blogger friends! I haven't visited my blog for almost 2 years and it looks so different now. Not sure how many blogger friends are still blogging ... but one thing is sure, some of them are now my facebook friends! Anyways, how's everybody? Last month, me and a group of my friends visited Hawaii and we had a blast! I am sharing some of our pictures here, enjoy!

Happy New Year

Macro Saturday & Today's Flowers

My entry for Macro Flowers Saturday and TF is:

Trillium These are a gift from nature; they just showed up among my wild ferns one day. From Wilkipedia, this is called, Trillium Grandiflorum, meaning flower among the leaves. Also, seeds of trillium are spreads by ants, the ants extract the seeds, eat the elaiosomes, and throw away the seeds where they germinate in rich soil.


I guess they live up to their name, they came in 3's ... 3 leaves, 3 petals & 3 showed up among my ferns. ;)


According to Mr. Wilkipedia, the white flowers will turn pink as they age like this one.

I WISH I could stop my car and take pictures of all the breathtaking blooms this time of year. This one below was taken at the parking lot of a mall. There are hundreds of these beauties around our area. (click images to enlarge)

Here's a close-up.

This is my forsythia gone wild! They shine every spring!

Talking about wild, here's a flowering quince competing for light with the forsythia.

Today's Flowers

AFTER months of cold temps and snow, there's nothing like seeing daffodils bloom in the spring. Daffodils, tulips, crocuses, forsythias and hyacinths are plants that yell, Spring! Pictured below are my daffodils collection, they are spectacular in the garden and delightful in bouquets. What I love about daffodils is that they require very little care, they multiply every year and deer won't bother them.
