Flower buds

Hmmm should I get you guys to guess what this plant is? I know what it looks like!

Gee what kind of flower has elongated hairy brown buds that have red tinged balls at their base? If all plants looked this funny I think more people would be gardeners. Don’t you?

Alright, enough guessing. These are the flower buds of the Toad Lily, which despite it’s funny looking buds has beautiful flowers. I did a green thumb post a while back about Toad Lilies that describes the plant and how to grow them if you are interested in reading more about them. Just click on the toad lily link listed in the beginning of this paragraph.

Wine of the Month Club

by

I know that for many gardeners the weather has turned cool now and you aren’t sitting in your garden enjoying the beauty that you’ve produced, but then again, a number of people that read this site are from continents that are experiencing Spring right now – so perhaps, for them this will be a timely post.

When your garden is lush and full, flowers blooming – do you ever just go and sit on your patio sipping a glass of wine and admire your work? Have dinner parties in your garden? Or now that the weather has cooled have you moved those peaceful relaxing moments and the dinner parties indoors? My husband and I do both- through the summer we often have informal dinner parties, or just sit outdoors on lovely days, and in the cooler months our friends still visit and we sit and talk and share a bottle of wine.

If you are like my husband and I you might be interested in a Wine of the Month Club that I’ve just found.

The wine of the month club claims:

Featured selections of the Wine of the Month Club are brought to you exclusively as a club member only after meeting the highest standards of our taste-testing professionals. Each month we sample dozens of hard-to-find, hand-crafted wines from leading wine producing regions around the world. Only our favorites are judged acceptable as selections of the Wine of the Month Club.

Imagine that- 2 750 ml bottles of taste tested hard to fine bottles of wine coming to your door each month? It sounds wonderful to me, as my husband and I both enjoy a fine wine every now and then.
