The host of this challenge is Mama Cormier.
Self had great fun browsing through her archives to come up with these trios. All were taken in her garden except for the arches (obv). Self took that picture somewhere near Prague Castle, May 2019.
Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.

Today’s Bright Squares are two pictures self took from her porch a few minutes ago: both of her clematis montana (“white surprise” and “rubens”) are profusely blooming!
Join the Bright Squares challenge hosted by The Life of B here.
Spring is truly the season for clematis montana!
Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.

Flowering spectacularly over the trellis now. This flower and the wisteria are mighty climbers. Most of the clematis’s blooms are on the top of the trellis, but there was one strand — this one — hanging down.
Love Cee Neuner’s FOTD.

Check out Cee Neuner’s Flower of the Day (FOTD) photo challenge.
Below is self’s newest clematis, clematis montana “white surprise,” which she found in local nursery Wegman’s a few weeks ago. The one she ordered last year, from a mail-order catalogue on the east coast, died. And it’s not that common in local nurseries. This one was a find!
Just started blooming!
Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.

Posting this for Cee Neuner’s Flower of the Day (FOTD) Challenge.
Took the picture this morning in the backyard.
Spring is their season. Not as profuse this year as they were last year. And my cistus and abutilon aren’t blooming at all. Hmmm.
Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.

Cee Neuner’s Flower of the Day today are tulips! Gorgeous red tulips.
Self spends hours at plant nurseries every week, and one of her favorite purchases this year has been this wee euphorbia. Not technically a flower, but oh so pretty. So far, it’s the star of her porch.
Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.

Saw this in Wegman’s and couldn’t resist. It was a little parched, so this afternoon, self gave it a good dousing in the kitchen sink. She was just coming in from the backyard when her eyes fell on the way the flower seemed to bask in late afternoon window light.
To follow along, here is Cee Neuner’s FOTD challenge: my gratitude to her, for running these challenges and for keeping self’s day bright with her pictures!
Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.
