When Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction

YOU KNOW THE OLD saying, right? Some things are just too, weird or quirky to be made up. I decided that today's post would feature the latest in strange and silly goings on in my world. 

There is something silly and wonderful about the unfurling of a Calla lily. 

These Lupines were growing in an area along the side of the road,
next to a house with lots of flowers. My daughters and I were admiring them,
 until the owner of the house came out and got all snippy with us for stepping on her flowers.
Gardeners are usually such nice people and this baffled me. We weren't trespassing. Weird. 

I took this photo on a recent trip to Hawaii. Not really. Actually I took it during the garden
tour a few weeks ago. With the blue sky backdrop, doesn't it look tropical? 

My garden is too small for a queen size bed. But if only I had the space... You gotta love this. 

For everyone who hates Bishop's Weed, here's the solution. I saw this on the garden tour too. The evil plant
is safely sequestered in this container...for now at least. 

This is a fairy garden. I always admire other people's but I can't seem to get around to cultivating my own. 

This, my dear friends is a Crook-Neck Foxglove. It's trying to adapt to its less than perfect spot of ground. 

I'm not a fan of bugs. They creep me out. But I had to run for the camera when I spotted this albino earwig.

Recently while in the garden section of a major retailer, I spotted these weird cacti. 

Here's a close up. Do you grow one of these? 

In all the years living here, I've never seen a rabbit in my garden, until now.
It's a baby and like me, has an affinity for honeysuckle flowers. 

And speaking of babies, here are our sweet feline kids. Taz is sitting while Nala wants to sleep.
