Well, yeah...okra flowers are edible!!!


I'm not sure I would be a flower eater, but a battered and fried one might be interesting! Check out all of the edible flowers HERE! See if any of yours are on the list! If any of you are flower eaters, I would love to know if you eat them raw, cooked or as a garnish!

Surprise in the garden!

In one of the areas where there are Gloriosa Lilies growing, this magnificent creature climbed it's way out through a mass of ferns and gloriosas...growing taller and taller, with beautiful slender tendrelling leaves everywhere! It looks like a firework explosion to me! Gorgeous! But...what is it??? The leaves are thinner and more abundant than the Gloriosa, and the Gloriosa stem is green...this has an almost black stem! Anyone have any ideas????? Whatever it is, I LOVE IT!!!!!

My Mom, daughter and I had tea on the back lawn with princess Emily today! Somehow it made the day sparkle really brightly.

Happy Cactus Monday

On Cactus Monday, I thought I would just show you an interesting conglomeration of succulents with a cactus in the middle, and a few weeds thrown in just for fun!

And how pretty these Donkey Ears (Kalanchoe Gastonis Bonnieri) are getting!

Happy Monday!
