Beautiful. Looks like a couple of purple rabbit ears. Ha
🙂
Love the lighting on this.
Thanks, Madison. Happy Monday.
Beautiful! Is it lavender?
It is. 🙂
👍
beautiful macro!
Thanks, Lola, and I hope your week’s off to a good start.

It looks like a psychedelic pineapple 🙂
What have you been smoking today?
It was early 🙂
Phew. You had a six word response and I was afraid you were starting that here. 🤭😳
Haha – no. One stream is enough. Ack, I almost did it again 😏
Lovely, Janet – mine are blooming now in the garden! Nice shot!
A beautiful bloom Janet. Haven’t seen one sprout like that!
I think it was from the English lavender plant that has since croaked. 😦 This isn’t a good time to try to grow things: too hot and too dry. I have one French lavender in a pot that still seems to be making it, but I’m quite disappointed that the others died.
There are some very interesting florals where your living.
Great color … it’s my favorite.
Izzy 😎 😍
This is one lavender flower from a plant I bought at Lowe’s. Unfortunately, I haven’ had good luck with growing things right now. It’s just too hot. I’ll try again in fall.
I have a cactus that I grew from a tiny plant. It’s about 24 years old. It’s tall and skinny with a few leaves at the top. After all this time, it’s sprouting a new branch. YIKES … that took a long time. ~~~ : – )
Cacti are slower growers for the most part, although the flowers can come and go quite quickly.
Wow! This is such a fancy-looking flower, Janet. I agree with Peggyjoan about the rabbit ears. 🙂
🙂 I’d love to have about 100 of these in my yard but alas, just a few blooms. I thought because they thrive in Provence they’d do well here, but I must be missing something.
Maybe they just need you to speak French to them. 🙂
I could do that if they don’t mind rather limited topics and all in the present tense. But the English lavender died and I did speak English to it. 🙂

Wow Janet! Such a delicate beauty.
Thanks. Glad you liked it. I love lavender and wish I could get a number of plants to grow. I had some in Illinois, but a very different climate and soil.
Might there be a variety more suited to the local climate?
I think the French type might work if I could get the soil, such as it is, ready to plant and then wait until it cools down to try. I’ll have to look into it a bit more, but late spring and summer isn’t really the time to plant anything except perhaps cactus from what I’ve read since we arrived.
Your green fingers must be itching for autumn!
🙂 They are a bit.
Oooo La La!
A bunny flower!
🙂
