More Flower Photos
Here I go again.
I didn’t bring my lap top with me to New Zealand, and have been posting on my blog from my i-phone. I have been struggling with it, but I have finally figured how to do it right. I am here for five more days. I think you will be seeing even more photos while I remain in New Zealand. The flowers are all so bright here, I just have to take their photos.
A Blue Hydrangea in a New Zealand Garden
This beautiful blue hydrangea is growing next to my daughter’s driveway. The Auckland, New Zealand area has had more than its share of rainfall this year. It appears that the local gardens loved it. I was curious to know why I see so many blue hydrangea flowers here. Apparently it’s because of the acidity of the soil in this area. When soil is more alkaline, pink flowers are produced. In our area of Southern California there is an abundance of pink blossoms, so I am really enjoying the blue.
A Moment in My Garden
When I ran out front of our house to get the morning paper I discovered my yellow rose was blooming. I tend to spend more time in the back garden, so I was missing this beautiful sight.
Another blossom on the same plant. I love yellow roses. I think this rose bush loved all of the winter rains we had this year.
Rain Drops on Roses
We’ve had several days of much needed rain in southern California. As I walked around our garden this morning I couldn’t help but notice the beauty of the raindrops on roses. I ran into the house and found my camera.
The leaves were silvery. It was beautiful in the garden after the rain.
