Blooms and Scripture 9

Wild Asparagus

Wild Asparagus

Not exactly a bloom but I thought it was neat. It’s out in the Tree Garden – probably 500 yards from the asparagus bed I had ten or fifteen years ago. I don’t know how they spread but this one went far and wide and stayed around a long time.

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement…godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love”  2 Peter 1:7 ESV

Yucca Plant Leaves

We have a line of these growing along the ditch-bank. I think they’re wild Yucca plants but not sure. Anyway, they have beautiful blooms.

The swamp hibiscus is new this year. The pink one has been fantastic for several years. I’ve used several pictures of it in the blog.

Azaleas 2

Azaleas 1

Still busy these days (a good thing), but flowers are still blooming so I’ll do another round of Blooms and Scripture. I have a non existent vegetable garden this year – too many Saturdays in a row with work and rain, but the flowers are making up for some of that.

These are the azaleas at our church from a couple months ago. We’ve had much rain, and it was a fabulous year for azaleas. They were like this everywhere you looked.

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.” 2 Peter 1:3-4 ESV
