I spent a great Mother’s Day with my mom and 3 sisters and many of my niece/nephews. We also took a trip to Tacoma to visit my brother’s family who just welcomed his first grandkid into the world. A nice day indeed. The array of colorful flowers that explode here every spring is staggering. This is a beautiful place year round, but especially this time of the year. This is one shot from my mom’s backyard.


truly beautiful!!!
Beautiful Fushsia. You might be aware that this bush/tree grows wild in stone fence rows in West Cork (sw Ireland in sw County Cork). We were there for the entire month of October and first half of November and they were in prolific bloom the entire period. Perhaps your father brought along this plant years ago…….or at least the memories from Eire. Enjoy the family visit. Gene
Hi gene. Thanks. No, this is a home grown fuschia. But my dad certainly did have a green thumb. Looking forward to seeing u next month.
What? How beautiful and what a show for Mother’s Day.
Those are gorgeous! Imagine how lush and full they’ll be in the middle of the growing season. So pretty!
