Having never grown (ranunculi) [***it has now fully opened and revealed itself to be a beautiful Anemone poppy***] before, nor even seen them in real life, I am *surprised* and amazed at each stage as it unfolds. I feel as if I'm witnessing a miracle in my own backyard as God's creative hand reveals itself day by day in stunning ways.
From when I first laid eyes on the ranunculi "claws" I have been happily perplexed and enjoying their uniqueness as they have slowly grown.
Taken in this morning's early light, the first bud, like a deep pink face shyly hiding under a bright frilly bonnet.
A tulip bud lies still snuggled down amongst its sheltering leaves.

Can you believe the beauty of this little miniature? Muscari, or Grape Hyacinth, actually belongs to the Lily family,
a native of the Mediterranean area and Asia minor.
In the garden bed above, and in a pot as below, these are tiny yet truly magnificent.
Miracles {and surprises} in my own backyard........

ReplyDeleteRanunculi are wonderful aren't they? Your pictures make me dream of spring already but we first have fall and winter to go through ;-) I can smell a bit of fall in the air already, especially early in the morning. Do you have that too, that you can sense a changing of seasons even when the new season isn't there yet?
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
