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.

Almost Too Pretty to Eat
Most mornings around 10:00 I have a cup of tea and a Gala apple. This apple was so pretty that I hated to eat it. The photo I took doesn’t do it justice, but I wanted to post it on Plum Bird Corner. By the way, I finally ate it, and this beautiful apple was as delicious as it looked.
