In the evening the flowers close up and the plants hang their heads to sleep. It is a delightful cycle that makes me wonder: why do some flowers "sleep" at night? Maybe some of our readers know.

the flowers remind me of phlox :)
ReplyDeleteI think someone planted them after a trip to a nursery for her birthday.
ReplyDeleteThe Lady Bird Johnson Wild flower center basically says Please don't pick the wild flowers on public lands, roadsides in public preserves etc (all public lands) if plucking wildflowers, do so on Private lands with the permission of the owner. With the access of iphones and digital cameras capturing images to down load and use as a desk top screen saver are there "phone screen savers" this would be a better way to capture the moment of seeing your favorite flower. I was saddened to see the bus stop flowers being plucked by innocent ignorant school children. The bouquet would not last the walk home. I do hope parents get the message from the Lady Bird Johnson Wild flower center.. plant a cutting garden or purchase some flowers, thus supporting a the florist industry can't afford them. Can society afford the wonton disrespect to taking something that is not yours??? Ursala Upper PS PH did you make the boat ride to PI
