Years ago, my son Gerald attended classes at the J.H. Hull Middle School. Since 2007, the old school has been demolished and rebuilt. The finishing touches are just being applied. Bob took this panoramic image today after shopping. Click on the image to enlarge.
We are back at the California house this evening. We had a couple of surprises awaiting us in the backyard. One of them is this beautiful flower on our Golden Torch Cactus. Click on the image to enlarge.
A pair of my red and white amaryllis opened this week. This is a photo I took today of both flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.
While we were in Arizona, this pretty pink Gerbera daisy opened up in a pot on the patio. I guess the rains this year have done a pretty good job of keeping my flowers watered. Click on the image to enlarge.
Echinopsis chamaecereus is the official name for this cactus. “Peanut” comes from the small pods that if dislodged from the cactus will easily take root. We’re going to take this little cactus with us when we return to Arizona and re-plant it there. Click on the image to enlarge.
We’re back in California for Easter weekend. When we arrived yesterday, we were surprised at how well the garden was doing with virtually no attention for over a month. The poppies were going crazy with their bright orange flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.
