Dear Gujili.. Irish flowers and Robin chicks are strange to me which I saw in my daughter's kindergarden picture books. I think Irish flowers are in so many colours and the one in your place is so beautiful.Also your yard seems to be environment friendly for birds.Noe we hardly find sparrows even in small towns of India and we statred protecting them by celebrating one day as World sparrow day like mother's day teachers's day is pathetic. Now if we go to any nursery in Coimbatore there are lot of exotic flower plants like Carnation,Anthurium,Gladiolus..as ornamental flowers which blossoms for more than a week but needs lots of care and attention to maintain in the small garden area we have. Chocks
Yes folks - seeing flowers and greenery is such a welcome sight to my eyes after a long winter. I took all this for granted in India where we are used to seeing flowers and plants throughout the year but now I appreciate it all the more. Chocks - I do remember seeing irises in Kodaikanal botanical gardens. You are right irises are in several colors and the natural one is indigo blue. Artificial ones of course are several colors. Actually today i saw a maroon / white iris which was simply gorgeous! Yes the robins go away for winter and come back in spring. So when I see a robin I am very happy because I know that winter is over. Next year I will try and get a picture of her eggs - they are a beautiful blue. The chicks are almost ready to fly out. I am glad that we are protecting the sparrows at home. Out by my parents house I see a lot of beautiful flowers and birds in the wild so it is nice that wildlife are still ok in the suburbs. You are right the flowers need a lot of attention for the small time that they flower. I do have some perennials that come year after year and flower throughout the summer season. I will paste more pictures once the flower bed is grown. I just planted flowers last week. Gujili
Robin Chicks-Amazing that without engineering and tools of all sorts, a bird can make something so symetrical and beautiful. Irises-With millions of varieties in many different colors and combinations, Irises make great and easy flowers to grow.
Yes nature is beyond our comprehension. Here is the amazing thing.. I did not do anything to deserve those beautiful iris flowers. They were in our yard before we moved into our house 7 yrs ago. These flowers are usually bulbs that stay in the ground and come up only during spring for a week and then the leaves die off and come back again for the next year. This is the story with the daffodils and tulips and irises and many more. The miracle of nature and God's creation! Gujili
