Just because

Just a few flowers from a friend's garden.

Petunias

Pyrachantha
 
There will be lupins

And there are always geraniums.

And here at home, my mock orange bush has two flowers and umpteen buds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unas cuantas flores del jardín de una amiga.

  1. Petunias
  2. Espinas de fuego, Pyracantha spp.
  3. Habrá lupinos azules
  4. Y siempre hay geranios.
Y aquí en casa, mi arbusto de Philadelphus ya tiene dos flores, y un montón de botones.

Freshly showered

These are a couple of baby geraniums I picked up at the grocery store. One needed extra water the day after I transplanted it. And I got more than I bargained for.

The water on the leaves was absorbed. On the petals, it stayed put. Why is that?

And what is that on the stem?

Very clean carpet beetle.

The other geraniums, in their pot:

Pink and very red. No carpet beetles.

Compré unos geranios chicos en la tienda de abarrotes. Aquí, uno recién rociado, con su pasajero, y los otros, en seco.

Se evaporó rapidamente el agua que cayó en las hojas. pero en los pétalos persiste. ¿Porqué será?

¿Y el pasajero? Un escarabajo de alfombra, Anthrenus verbasci, bien limpiecito.
