    FOTD: Flowers or Seeds?

    Since I am spending the winter in South Florida there are lots of trees, flowers and plants I am not familiar with. First of all here is a photo of a tree near where we are staying. I was intrigued by the blooms. Were they flowers? My husband thinks they are seed pods. We tried…

    The flowers knew it was coming!

    Last Saturday, May 21, started off so pleasantly. The sun was shining and there was no sign of what was to come. But then I looked down at the aquilegia ( columbine) .
