That’s one long Stamen

This weeks theme is LONG

My hibiscus shrub has the most beautiful coral colored flowers.

This is a macro of one of the blooms. Note the extremely long pollen covered stamen.

I brought the Hibiscus indoors sometime in October. The plant is currently sitting in a south facing window in one of our upstairs bedrooms and appears to be doing well. I lost a hibiscus last winter so I’m hoping that this one manages to survive it’s stay indoors.

This Canopy Chair would make a fantastic gift

by Tricia

If you’re still doing your holiday shopping for that special someone I might have a fantastic gift idea for you.

It’s the Canopy Chair by Renetto. This is a brand new type of outdoor chair that’s just come on the market so there’s little chance that your friends or family will already have one.

The Canopy chair is basically an Outdoor Chair that includes a canopy that will protect you from the hot sun when sitting in the chair. It’s a very well designed outdoor chair. Every single feature has been made with the users comfort and convenience in mind.

It’s a portable chair with a canopy that turns into a backpack for easy carrying.

The very best way to tell you about the chair is to simply show it to you:

As you can see it’s made of water proof material, a sturdy yet light frame, and heavy fabric to give the person seated in the chair good support.

The seat is oversize so it’s bound to be comfortable for just about anyone to sit in, and there’s a beverage holder on each of the chairs arm so lefties and right handed folks will be be able to choose where to place their drinks. I’m a lefty myself and I prefer chairs with two holders as the ones with only a single beverage holder tend to have them on the right.

When the chair is folded into a backpack you’ll discover that it has comfort padded shoulder straps. If you take this chair with you when you’re camping or on a long hike I’m sure the padded shoulder straps will be appreciated.

Here’s an example of how easy it is to fold up:

I think this chair would make an ideal gift for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors.

The Canopy Chair would be ideal to bring to sporting events, outdoor family gatherings, picnics, barbecues, used as extra seating in your backyard garden and of course it would be a perfect Camping Chair for those who enjoy getting away for the weekend to the great outdoors.

I’m sure you can think of even more uses for this innovative chair. It’s affordable and comes in five colors. Visit the site to learn more about the Canopy Chair and perhaps purchase one for yourself or as a gift for someone special.

Breath of life rose bud and rain drops

by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

Breath of Life rose bud

Rain drops and Rose buds. Two of my favorite things.

My roses have finally stopped blooming what with all the snow and freezing temperatures that we’ve been having here in Toronto. It’s about time … but I’ll miss them over the next few months.

Sometime this week I’ll have to take my camera outside and take some photos of frosty plants. Even though the plants are wilting due to the cold they can still look pretty neat when covered with snow, frost or ice.

Yes I know this Wordless Wednesday post is late, again! I got mixed up as to what day it was – again. I’m so tired lately thanks to our new puppy and my Crohns. sigh …
