A brisk flower walk today!

A brisk walk at noontime today, to drop a letter to New Zeland at the post so I can get Sukipoets' Housekeeper's Shield soon; a stop at the bank, stopping along the way to shoot some flowers. Remember that wierd green one a few weeks back with the spikey leaves all up and down it like spines? Today I found it in full bloom! What a delightful surprise! I also loved the lone black tulip! And those wonderful roses.
And one stunted lemon in a tree full of them. Enjoy!

    I wanted to thank you for your very touching comment on my blog regards a poem I wrote about Bergen-Belsen... the experiences of WWII left a deep scar in the collective memories of Newfoundlanders... and though there are not many veterans left alive from that conflict its stories have been passed on... I will repost on May 1 as you suggested... and i hope you don't mind I've added a link to your site on mine... we seem to have a lot of common friends...

    I love lemons. Lovely flowers and plants. Weird shapes. Makes me feel warm just looking at them blooming.

    Lynniskynni:) I love the torsioned lemon! And this big strange plant, like a beautiful caterpillar it is praising the sun there, perhaps it will change into a giant wonderful butterfly ?
    Love your pictures, what a beautiful world:)

    all things are set before us
    the hidden wanting to be found
    seething in the branches
    of a lemon tree
    turned up
    and the snow
    falling faintly
    through the universe
    faintly falling on the window-sil
    for your attention
