Lovely peonies at the Akureyri Botanical Garden in North Iceland last month. It's one of the northernmost botanical gardens in the world. I think the northernmost one is in Tromsø, Norway, which is within the Arctic Circle. I'd love to visit it one day.

A vibrant purple flower, set against a softly blurred background of green foliage. The flower is in full bloom, with numerous delicate petals forming a rounded, pincushion-like head. To the right and slightly below the main flower, another dried seed head, yellowish-brown in color, is visible, also out of sharp focus.

Happy Protest Day to everyone who celebrates that America has no king. Be safe if you are on the streets.

I’ve got appointments for a second opinion on what to do about the termites, and also what to do about the tree. Turns out there may be a less expensive option for the bugs, the tree may be what it is. We will see.

On vient de me faire une visite guidée du jardin familial, vous êtes prêt'es pour un #BloomScrolling / #FleurisTonFil ?
On commence par la clématite mélangée au jasmin 🥰

@KokopelliBFree not everyone. I’m still hanging on to a little shred of sanity.

@purplepadma I can hear birds singing in the distance, and I have a whole day to fill. I will try to fill it with good things.

The good news is there is no sign of termites in or around the immediate vicinity of the house. The bad news is there is a large colony attacking the tree out front, but also battling Texas red ants for dominance of the area. It’ll cost a bit to treat, and won’t necessarily help to take down the tree, apparently.

Finally, some warm days, if only for a fleeting few moments. How magnificent it is to see the blooms stretching their petals, gleefully freed from the ever present chill and rain

I think I’d do better in life if I had a longer memory. Seriously, I forget things so quickly. I need to remember more, and focus more on the good. I shall try.

I had a fairly blah night last night. Sigh. No motivation, no nothing, and then I didn’t sleep well.

Only way out is through, and I must try to make strides towards a better me. It happens little by little, each day at a time.

Wish I felt as hopeful as that sounds, but I shall do my best to make it so.

@purplepadma congrats!! 🎊

As for me, I’m struggling, but determined.

A stem of what I think is Baptisia australis (or Blue Wild Indigo, Wild Blue Indigo, Blue False Indigo), isolated before a field of green. 

"Rising 2-4 ft. high from a woody base, blue wild indigo is a bushy, robust perennial. Flowers are blue-purple and pea-like, congested in dense, upright, terminal spikes, 4-16 in. long. Leaves are divided into three leaflets. In late fall the plant turns silvery-gray, sometimes breaking off at ground level and tumbling about in the wind."
