CMMC: Violet or White Color – At the Gibson House

It’s been cold and rainy all week. On Wednesday, Coleman and I decided to try to beat the rain and ventured out to visit Forest at Anne Springs Close Greenway Horse Stables. It was sure cold 🥶 though. However, Coleman enjoyed his time visiting the horses. [Those pictures are saved for another post].

Gibson House

We spotted these Violet and White Flowers by the Gibson House on the way back to the car whilst trying not to get the camera wet. So naturally I had to capture them with a few snapshots. After all I did have my camera around my neck.

Haven’t traveled too far since Covid-19 lockdown, however, in early 2020 I visited relatives in Texas. While there I would walk around the neighborhood or wherever the opportunity arose.

VIOLA TRICOLOR VAR. HORTENSIS PENSEER

I spotted these lovely flowers while walking around my Aunt’s neighborhood in Abilene, Texas. It was taken with the cell phone I had at the time, an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

FOTD: 11/23/2022 – Plumeria

Today’s Walking Squares selection is putting the spotlight on Plumeria and the Atkinson Plumeria Farm.

Stacy’s Delight
Plumeria
Atkinson Plumeria Farm
La Mesa, California

The Atkinson’s have been growing and selling plumeria in San Diego’s East County since 1997. They also offer classes, consultation services, and sales throughout the year. Stacy also uses the various Plumeria to make leis and to teach others how to make them.

A lei is a garland or wreath common in Hawaii, across Polynesia, and the Philippines. A lei is a common symbol of love, friendship, celebration, honor or greeting. In essence, it is a symbol of Aloha.

Floral Friday #77 – Biden Aristosa

My grandson, Coleman and I went for a walk through the city to see what shops were in walking distance from our apartment and spotted these bright yellow flowers along the way.

Bidens aristosa
AKA Bearded Beggarticks
AKA Tickseed Sunflower

These flowers are Bidens. They are known by several common names as you can see from the various names I used for the photos. Bidens is a genus of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae. The common names beggarticks, black jack, burr marigolds, cobbler’s pegs, Spanish needles, and tickseed sunflowers refer to the fruit of the plants.
