Love the light and soft focus. Perfect for the last hurrah of summer 💛
Thank you, Val. That was my thought exactly. Celebrate the flowers while we can!
Nice flowers
Thank you!
Much to contemplate: Beauty.
🙂 One never tires of it.
That’s a nice, relaxing photo. Perfect for a Sunday. 🙂
Thank you, Bun. Hope your weekend was pleasant!
Reblogged this on Anita Dawes & Jaye Marie.
Thank you for reblogging!
Lovely!
Many thanks, Victor!
Lovely!
Thank you, Belinda!
Those type don’t grow here… Wow
I’m surprised to hear that, as they are from S. America originally, will grow in zones 2-11 and are drought tolerant. Maybe you could buy some seeds to try!
What zone is California?
Depends…Sonoma is Zone 9, LA is 10/11. Tahoe is 6.
Cleome…love them. nice pic
Thank you!
Remind me of fireworks!
Yes, they do burst forth, don’t they? 🙂
I like cleome a lot!
It is a pretty neat flower!
Now that is a calm photo for a Sunday.
Good to hear – hope yours was relaxing!
As relaxing as I can hope for!
Stunning!
Thank you!
Stunning
Thank you!!
Cleomes are gorgeous. Yours is just a little darker than my “SEÑORITA ROSALITA”, which has really grown & the Hummingbirds loved.
They are a great plant. Do you let yours self-sow?
I bought one a few years ago & a seed grew in a pot, it stayed a small plant. This Cleome is very large, we’ll see next year if the seeds decide to sprout. I pretty much let everything grow, including goldenrod all over the brick patio, milkweed in the gardens where the seeds grow 😋. Going out to take some photos of the (2 bulbs) COLCHICUM ‘Lilac Wonder’ that I planted last year. There are numerous flowers. Pretty!
Love! I used to plant these all over the Park – the small spikes make them deer resistant. I have trouble growing annuals in my own garden because it is so heavily planted. Cleomes one of my favorites!
Cleomes are habit-forming to be sure. I just picked up some seed from a friend that is a bright, almost coral pink… oh goody! 😉
