I hope everyone had a great Easter or Passover or just a nice weekend!!
Spiderwort: What an odd name for such a beautiful flowering plant. Spiderwort is sorta considered a weed, but I don’t think that makes it any less beautiful. I saw these growing wild along the road when I was taking a morning walk. The bright purple color instantly caught my eye.
People in Ohio plant this in their gardens sometimes which makes me laugh because we thought it was a weed! And it could stain stuff purple haha. Love the close-ups!
Thanks so much for including me. I enjoyed seeing the other photos, and will follow you, since I can’t get enough of wonderful flowers, and really enjoy some other Florida blogs I follow.
I found a species of spiderwort I’ve never seen last weekend — the hairy spiderwort. I don’t have a good photo of it yet, but I will.
Oh nice. I followed you so I will watch out for a future post. 🙂🌺🌷
I never realized how popular my flower photos would be when I started posting them but I’ve had a lot of fun identifying them and then seeing the wonderful photos other people have taken as well.
I just looked and it seems your ‘follow’ didn’t take. That’s been happening now and then for the past couple of weeks — one of those WordPress glitches. So, you might want to follow again. I’m looking forward to browsing your archives, too!
Nice. I love driving through Georgia and stopping to get fresh peaches and pecans. Those fresh pecans are so delicious! I’m a sucker for roadside produce stands 🙂🌺
I like roadside produce stands, as well. We love to drive to north Georgia in the fall where there is an abundance of stands with lots of great produce.
Very pretty, JoAnn.

In some beginning, there-were-many-weeds, and “beauty,” it-was-seldom-seen! – – – Then, people started-to-‘ppreciate-things, by-saying: “Look! That’s KEEN!” – – – And, slowly-it-seems, there-were-fewer-“WEEDS!” – – – – We-[then]-called-them-“flowers,” and-collected-their-seeds! – – – And gave them love, and-brought-them-inside! – – – They-just-got-so-pretty!

They are native to North and South America I believe. They have been introduced in several places around the world just not Malta yet I guess 🙂🌺

One flower Florida and Colorado share, but here they bloom later in the year. I love them, too!

I’m sure. They have to let all that snow and ice melt off ❄️
I grew up in Idaho so I know all about that 🙂
