My Wordless Sunday - #16

Happy Easter to everybody!

Love is a Springtime Plant...

Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.

I grow plants for many reasons

Flower pots in the backyard

I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.

Hi my friends,

Time is running fast! It's already Wednesday or Mittwoch in German language. Let's celebrate "Mittwoch" and I want to say thank you for all the kind comments I got for my chairs photo yesterday with the song of Bryan Adams.

I appreciate every single comment!

Happy to see you visiting again.

Susanne

I think we all need some sunshine today!

Hi my friends,

It's cold in Florida!! 35.9F are NOT the temperatures we are used to and there is no sunshine to see today in the Sunshine State. I really think, we all need some warmth in form of a strong red colored flower that's replaces the sun today in a symbolic way. I hope it warms up your hearts!

Thank you for all your kind comments from yesterday. Today I'm a nurse at home (that's my 2nd job just now), my husband is ill since some days with a very bad cough. Hoping it will be better every day, just now it doesn't looks like....

Tomorrow I have another "Wordless Sunday" photo for you. Come back tomorrow if you can. See you - and love you all!

Stay warm!
Susanne

Bougainvilleas

Bougainvillea (pronounced /ˌbuːɡɨnˈvɪliə/)

is a genus of flowering plants native to South America from Brazil west to Peru and south to southern Argentina (Chubut Province). Different authors accept between four and 18 species in the genus. The plant was discovered in Brazil in 1768, by Philibert Commerçon, French Botanist accompanying French Navy admiral and explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville during his voyage of circumnavigation.

They are thorny, woody vines growing anywhere from 1-12 meters tall, scrambling over other plants with their hooked thorns. The thorns are tipped with a black, waxy substance. They are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season. The leaves are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4-13 cm long and 2-6 cm broad. The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colors associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. Bougainvillea glabra is sometimes referred to as "paper flower" because the bracts are thin and papery. The fruit is a narrow five-lobed achene.

Bougainvillea are relatively pest-free plants, but may suffer from worms and aphids. The larvae of some Lepidoptera species also use them as food plants, for example the Giant Leopard Moth.

Hi my friends,

Thanks again for your kind comments and visits to my blog post from yesterday.
Probably you have seen it already, I'm answering to your comments and questions directly there on that place where you are writing them. I appreciate every single comment from you!

The bougainvilleas are blooming in Florida and I love them so much! The colors are outstanding, from pastel to strong deep reds and yellows. You can not miss them, they are growing everywhere down here.

I wish you a wonderful weekend - and tomorrow is "My Wordless Sunday" again! Come back and be in time, I'll be here...*smile*....

Concentrate to the present moment

do not dream of the future,
concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Hi my friends,
I want to say thank you for all your wonderful words to my rather sad post from yesterday. That's what real friendship means for me - also in our virtual world - it's fantastic to see how people from all over the world are here for each other with good and supporting words.
This kind of friendship means a lot to me!

Have a wonderful day!
Susanne

You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.
