I wish those fuzzy, sticky balls wouldn't come back but they always do!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851516387194415387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402363028023891254.post-90379378782483657592013-05-29T16:14:23.459-07:002013-05-29T16:14:23.459-07:00How beautiful is your iris?! She looks like she...How beautiful is your iris?! She looks like she's donned her best ballgown or is a ballerina twirling in the prettiest blue chiffon.<br /><br />And your bluebird - what a joy! I adore birds and (again) grew up reading stories and poems about these pretty blue jewels of the northern skies.<br />So wonderful to see your photos here, and the clarity is perfect. He is so blue. And I love his orange-buff breast.<br /><br />The wonderful Baby Blue Eyes don't occur naturally here, but I used to buy punnets and plant them in my old country garden - they are very sweet.<br /><br />We too have a weedy plant over here that has a spiky puffball "flowerhead" that attaches to anything and everything as it's brushed past - the tenacious seeds then split apart and get deep into, and hang, onto what ever carries them - I hate it when they get onto Jack's coat. Gotta spend ages to remove every last bit.<br />Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.com
