I’m not getting into my garden much these days, but yesterday when I got home I had to take a quick walk-through. After a long dry spell, we’ve had rain the last couple of days. The flowers love it.
I was most excited to see that my caesalpinia pulcherrima is blooming. This is only a preview of what next summer will be like. If it survives the winter, and I have confidence that it will, it will be larger and more branched. It will also have more blooms. For now, I will enjoy the one bloom spike I have.
It’s much bigger than when I planted it.
The flowers were wilting for the day, but they were still pretty.
Wow! That flower looks like a firework. Very cool. The leaves are also so symmetrical – like how a child would draw leaves. (An older child than a preschooler, of course.)
That is one crazy flower! Isn’t God creative?
The leaves make me think of a mimosa tree! Neato flower! It’s like an easter egg hunt when you find a new bloom outside huh?! Love it!
