It's Epi-time here in our garden.
[Epiphyllum]
Thanks to the many plants kindly given to us by one of my Sisters, quite a few years ago, we're enjoying seeing these gorgeous flowers bloom in the early warmth of this month.
Their buds are quite beautiful and they last for quite a few weeks.
Once in bloom they are at their best for a short couple of days.
I'll leave them to hang around in that state because they eventually produce small round fruits which taste delicious.
I hope everyone's going along okay at this busy time of year.
It's nice to be able to spend some early hours of the morning in the garden.
Retirement definitely has its advantages :D) Cheers!
ahh springtime! It is very far from us here in North America, lovely to share your flowers today!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, lovely to have you visit :D)
DeleteThe flowers are gorgeous. It's fun to see things growing in your garden that we only find in a well stocked florist's shop. Retirement sure has a lot of advantages! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHello Valerie, thank you ... we are so lucky to have these pretties in our garden. Cheers :D)
DeleteThey are beautiful. Sad that they don't last longer.
ReplyDeleteYes, their build-up in bud is something I enjoy ,,, probably because of their short flowering time! :D)
DeleteThose are so beautiful! What a pleasure to see your lovely spring garden now where here starts winter. Happy rest of the month dear Sue!

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful Spring flowers in your garden!
You must be enjoying the blooms !

Dimi...
Hello Dimi - thank you... and, yes, we are enjoying seeing the blooms coming out, so many Epis have decided to bloom this year. Glad you enjoyed :D)
DeleteHello, they are beautiful blooms. Lovely flowers and photos. Have a happy day and weekend ahead.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Eileen, enjoy your weekend too!
DeleteHi Sue! Lovely flowers! Greetings
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated Anne, thank you :D)
DeleteIt's always good to come here and feel the warmth (although I do enjoy our winter). Lovely to see your exotic flowers and I wonder if they would grow here in summer, I must have a look.
ReplyDeleteLovely, thanks Sheila.
DeleteMost probably they would - even though they look fragile, they are very hardy in fact ... ours had to look after themselves for 2 years a while ago - and with a bit of a top up with fresh soil and extra water over the recent year this is how they perform! They just like a bit of shelter from the extreme conditions. Cheers :D)
What beautiful flowers. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks kindly Lin :D)
DeleteThe flowers are beautiful. So delicate looking and it's nice that they produce tasty fruit. Wishing you a good day and weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you Linda, thanks for your lovely comments :D)
DeleteYour garden is a feast to the eyes and a balm to the soul.
ReplyDeleteRetirement is a new beginning, to a beautiful life.
Beautiful thoughts from you Duta, thank you :D)
DeleteThe flower you kindly share with us is absolutely lovely even in photo and I hardly can imaging what it is in your garden. It's often so that the most beauty lasts only a short time, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your spring, we have got winter and snow here!
Happy weekend xx
Hello Sirkkis, they are indeed - it's been lovely sharing them here and I appreciate your comments.
DeleteWhen their blooms have died, I take pleasure in the gorgeous shapes of their leaves and the way they grow... they're always offering a visual treat :D)
A very delicate and beautiful flower!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Jenny, really happy you enjoyed them :D)
DeleteLovely flower, very like a firework in the flowerbeds!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine... great description!
DeleteThey are such beautiful and delicate flowers.
ReplyDeleteA little piece of exoticness in the garden - thanks Lynda :D)
DeleteYes, they really are beautiful ... Your garden is looking luscious!
ReplyDeleteLovely - thanks Denthe... I had a look at the old spent blooms yesterday and the fruit just may be forming, I'm keeping fingers crossed :D)
DeleteI just love when friends and family share plants from their garden. When they bloom, the blossoms are so much more special!!!
ReplyDeleteThese special flowers are beautiful!!!
spot on Debbie! It's really lovely to walk around the garden and bringing everyone to mind via the cuttings/plants :D)
DeleteHi Sue...such a beautiful plant and blossom! It's sad that they only last a few days, but, what enjoyment you get from them during that time.
ReplyDeleteWe traveled to Kansas for our Thanksgiving holiday and spent the time with my family. My grandson got to play with his second cousin for a couple of days, and had great fun. She is just a few months shy of being the same age as he. They got to meet for the first time in August, but spent more fun time together this past week.
Thank you for a beautiful post with the prettiest blooms! Have a wonderful week! xx
Thanks Suzanne, yes they have a short but glorious moment!
DeleteHow lovely you were able to get together with your family for the holiday, I know how much that means to you.
Beaut to see you :D)
Las flores están preciosas. Saludos.
ReplyDeletethank you so kindly Teresa - greetings to you too :D)
DeleteSue what gorgeous flowers. Perhaps you will get a picture of the fruit. Curious to know what it looks and tastes like. Hope you are having a blessed week. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteyes thanks Debbie, I'm taking photos as the fruits form - I think it takes a couple of months after the flower dies, they're looking good.
DeleteEnjoy your week too :D)
this flower is really gorgeous! Somehow it seems familiar to me. Not sure why. Love it!
ReplyDeletethanks Monica, perhaps the Hosta blooms remind you of these? Cheers :D)
Deletelol, I meant that perhaps these remind you of the Hosta blooms... 😉
DeleteEpiphyllum ... really is a pretty flower.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are lovely to see.
Enjoy your springtime.
All the best Jan
thank you Jan... we're having such hot weather for Spring - but lots and lots of rain is expected shortly, for which the garden will be thankful :D)
DeleteBeautiful flowers! Your photography does full justice to them.
ReplyDeleteThank you most kindly Indira :D)
Deletewow those blooms (flowers) are beautiful! We are now suppose to be experiencing cold weather but today is beautiful about in the mid60's. Not sure when our snow will arrive. Hope u are enjoying that garden of yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy :D)
DeleteGlad you're having beautiful weather - we enjoy it while we can don't we, everything is changing including the weather ;D)
Yes, thanks, I'm loving our garden always... even today when it's been thoroughly rain-soaked - that has a special kind of beauty.
Lovely to see you !
