Mother’s Cherished Bloomers

Update:  Mother sat up a long while yesterday.  Her bed transformed into a recliner!  She had some company of family and a most cherished friend.  That friend knows who she is and Mother is so happy that you came.  Continue to pray and think about Mother.  She is a bit better every day.  I pray for an appetite and no more setbacks.

Every week when I come there are new flowers in the yard.  There are so many; lots of them I cannot name.  Yesterday, Mother named some for me.  I hope we got them right as she did not have on her glasses.

Near the ramp there is a tiny vine which Mother was afraid had been frozen out during the winter.

Henrii Columbine

As Daddy and I walked to snap these pictures he told me to be sure to snap this one and to show Mother.  She was so proud that this columbine has returned.  She immediately told Donna and myself just how she wanted it gently twirled around the structure so that it will be off the ground.  She inquired as to where the bloom was but Daddy said the bud was there but no bloom as yet.

Rooguchi Clematis

This lovely is a Rooguchi Clematis.  It is growing on a trellis near the bird feeders.  This is just one of the showy blossoms that are adorning the
plant.  Mother said she got this plant from a greenhouse out of state.  The petals of this delicate flower are different shades of purple and lavender.  It is exquisite!

I continue to be amazed at the readership of this blog.  Mother enjoys hearing the hit count and is anxious to be able to take up the keyboard and blog.

Bloomers in spring—a favorite time of country living.
