Flowers everywhere
And yet MORE pictures from the gardens where my mom lives –the last of the photos from the California trip (not mom’s garden by the way, …the one for the complex…mom’s idea of “gardening” is to stick fake foliage in a window box and leave it for ten years, faded, icky and all…..shudder!).
Love the juxtaposition of the purple and scarlet-orange.
Don’t know the name of the shrub with these yellow blossoms. The buds are a yellow, turn to a rust color, brighten as they open, then fade to a wrinkled rust. It’s a large shrub….almost a small, multi-stemmed tree.
Then, of course, the ornamental cherry:
More of the tangerine and violet, with a dash of cooling white.
Does it get any better? Nasturtiums and yellow!
Think of the quilting patterns….line drawings of the flowers and leaves, background motifs, wholecloth shapes……
Deborah Boschert wrote not too long ago that, for her, it’s all about the line. I can’t say quite that…but the line and the color! The color is what grabs me, the line is what keeps me. The quilts don’t come to life until you add the line.

Beautiful photographs! I’m especially enamored of the shrub with yellow buds that fade to the rust…
