The Bellarica tree in the village is covered with greenish yellow, fragrant flowers. The tree is abuzz with bees. The Eucalyptus at the back has not yet flowered.
THe Sanchezia is commonly called the zebra plant, but its flowers remind me of the tiger, with their yellow and orange colouring.
The bright yellow blossoms of the African marigold are a favourite of bees.
I had pinched the buds of these French marigolds , and now I am getting a bushelful of flowers!
Warm colours of the French marigolds compliment the colours of zinnia.I thank Katarina of Roses and Stuff for hosting Blooming Friday .
Your blooms today are gorgeous. I love all of them, especially the French marigolds. I tried growing some African marigolds but they become too 'big-headed' and drooped down. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love the first photo! It almost looks like long caterpillars are hanging off that tree, but it's foliage! :D
ReplyDeleteThese are just great...I miss my bees, and can't wait for spring to find us again, but it will be months yet. Happily, blogs like yours keep me from being cranky all winter.

ReplyDeleteLovely colours. The pictures cheer me up as I wait for signs of spring to arrive. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of Marigold, all of them from yellow to almost braun, they bring the sunshine into gardens and the warmth :)
ReplyDeleteAll the colors are so warm and bright. I love the Zebra plant flowers, I think I've seen the plant before but not the bloom.

Lotus leaf, I have recently learned that when buds are pinched the bushes get stronger and wider and give many, many flowers!!!! How nice to know you do the same!!!! But, I must confess that I did it once and it worked, then forgot it...or was lazy..... had to do it again!!!
ReplyDeleteCariños,
Maria Cecilia
your Zinnias are so beautiful! Mine is not so healthy after blooming for 1st time....Do we need to remove the old flowers? Any advice to cheer up my Zinnia?
