Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

Back to the gardens

I love the ginger lily flower's scent. It's funny, lots of lilies are very objectionable to me these days. Not this one.
Just look at the size of that plant.


A very interesting pod...don't know the name of this one!




There were an abundance of zinnias in the John Wilson community gardens when I walked around a couple of weeks ago.
And marigolds...and some very tiny unhappy looking tomatoes.




Unfortunately we're due to have almost constant rain on this Sat. Wonder how they'll tag butterflies.


I used to think I was allergic to goldenrod...but I've been told the culprit is ragweed for allergies.



 So I haven't had any increase of symptoms walking wherever goldenrod is blooming. Yay.

    I understand the same about goldenrod and ragweed. Apparently the ragweed often grows along with the goldenrod, at its base. One of my Flickr contact recently posted a photo of this.

    I love zinnias and most lilies, although their scent can be overpowering. We're getting lots of rain right now too. And thunder.
