"PROFUSION OF EASTER LILIES"

 "Lilium longiforum"
Is called "Easter Lily"
only in the United States.
I was trying to figure out what was on the left of the lilies...the grill. I was thinking that was a monster on top but just realized it is the grill scraper! WHEW!
This native of Japan first began to be marketed in the U. S.
as Easter Lily in the 1930s.
And aren't we glad it was!!

DEER IN THE HOOSEGOW!

a prison, a jail (from Juzgao, an early Mexican Spanish word for a tribunal court


Yesterday, I snapped this photo from my breakfast room window.
They are not REALLY in the hoosegow! They are behind my garden fence.

Azaleas In Savannah

 They were glorious this Spring!
For the last three weeks we have been blessed 
with a magnificant display of our beloved 
Azaleas at their peak.
As you can see I got carried away 
with this large Bumble Bee.
 
 
 
 
Due to the warm winter the flowers were several weeks early but made a wonderful appearance for our
Saint Patrick's guests.
Alas, with the Azaleas comes the pollen. It has been early and heavy this year. Maybe that means it will be finished sooner.

I took all these pictures after a terrible windstorm. I think it was the one causing havoc in the rest of the country. I knew if I didn't capture some of the blossoms during the lull they would gone for sure.
 


We have many pines so therefore lots of pollen and pinestraw. We have never had to purchase pinestraw but we could sell some pollen.
That is our dog, Elvis, in the background. That is pollen on his back.
 The next three pics are my son's dog.
R. D. (red dog)
 R. D. has a fetish about plastic bottles. He saw this on the counter a couple of days ago 
and begged for said bottle.
As you can see, Elvis is well behaved. I don't know if it shows up or not but the porch is covered in yellow pollen.  All fabric items are inside for the duration.
When empty and rinsed he will carry it around for hours. Big ones like this he has to carry by the cap.
After hiding and retrieving it from several locations he will begin to crush it (You, know that commercial?). We are very careful and take it away once the surface has been broken. He doesn't want to bite through it,
 just crush it and make lots of noise.


Just like Savannah in the Spring.
A little pink! A little green!


Have a wonderful weekend

Wordless Wednesday 
and  
Happy Pink Saturday!
