I got these potted red mums for Mom on Mothers Day. The bonus is this really pretty jeweled butterfly on top of the bunch of flowers. Mom loves butterflies.

Not to detract from the lovely and priceless art of Leonardo da Vinci, but these Mona Lisa roses give the famous painting in the Louvre a run for the money.
Water Fight
Sisters BB and Carol were entertaining Drake in Mom and Dad’s backyard today. One of his favorite moments was squirting them with the spritzer I use to water some of Mom’s plants. He was laughing so hard . . .

Gymno – Something

Double Ephiphyllum Bloom
I went into the patio this morning and saw these two ‘spring gold’ epiphyllum flowers. They only last a couple of days like most succulent flowers, but they are really pretty. I like the delicate structure of the stamen and pistil parts of the inner flower. We’re due to have red flowers in a few weeks on another epiphyllum in the patio. I’ll be sure and share those with you when they open up.

Daisies
The daisies are going strong in one of the patio planters. These pretty little flowers are one of the reasons that springtime is such a happy time for me. Click on the image to enlarge.
