Every time I see this bush, it brings to mind a name for a [fictional?] music group with a female lead singer, Rhoda and the Dendrons.
We’ve had a lot going on here and it has kept me away from this blog. The vegetable garden is in and looking good. No pictures yet. The peonies are in blossom. The purples were first, followed by the pinks. Yesterday, the white peonies opened their blossoms. Japanese iris by the barn are looking good, but you have to walk right up to them to see them. They are hiding behind day lilies, which have not yet blossomed.
We are sleeping better at night since our new Sleep Number bed arrived last week. It is a lot nicer than sleeping in my recliner. What a difference it makes to raise the head (easier to breathe w/o snoring) and feet (Lessens pressure on the lower back). Our unit even has the built in massage. Expensive, but well worth it.
You two sure have a wonderful array of flowers with beautiful colors !!!
Your new bed sounds great. In fact, I know it is because I have had one like that for many years. Maybe it was when they first came out, but they had one on display at the Ingham County Fair, and we ordered one. Believe it or not, it still works!
Thanks, Grace we do enjoy the flowers. We also enjoy the new bed. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I love to watch the flowers bloom at their various times. It’s like watching fireworks in the sky.
Oh, happy day (night!) with the new bed! I’m glad it makes you sleep better.
That’s what’s neat from early spring through first frost and beyond, something beautiful is in bloom.
Good sleep is priceless.
Sorry about your froggy. :rain:
Wish Rhoda would stay in my garden. I guess we just don’t get along very well. Ah, but two of our Daylilies are blooming…very early, but gorgeous.
This is early for day lilies. Rhoda likes a slightly acid soil. Yours may be too sweet.
I hope the bed works out well. I have never had a good bed in my entire life. I’ve been told a better bed can make a huge difference. I’d like to one day at least try and see the difference.
It is working well. We spent over an hour checking out our options and found one that suits our needs. I really like your new profile pic. It captures a certain spirit. 😎
Hope the bed works out as well for you as it sounds. And thanks for the real life flower tour!
The bed is working quite well, thanks. Thanks also for identifying some of the plants in our garden and also a couple of trees. :tiphat:
Gorgeous bloom.
Thanks, Vee. It was a windy day, so I was unable to include a bee or other pollinator in the pic. :no:
