since August 26th, I’ve been watching a water lily flower bud… first noticed it about four inches under the water…

once it reached the water level, it has come up about an inch and then popped back under the water… then it would reemerge and finally it rose about two inches out of the water…

it finally opened on Tuesday, September 2nd, on a very cool, overcast, and windy afternoon… certainly, not a day to sit by the pond😢…

since then it has remained closed up…

hoping the weather turns warm and sunny before it returns below the surface…

opening…

enjoyed some beautiful flowers today…

was at the office for a few hours and the African violet was still blooming and looked so nice…

I was laughing when I got home to see that the hibiscus was blooming again… the buds started opening when my daughter arrived in the city… she and my son-in-law have been house-sitting for a friend and while she’s been gone it has not bloomed… she arrived home about five minutes before I took this shot…

finally, while I was out today, I picked up this cute little tree that was on sale at Safeway… I bought it instead of flowers;-)…

a lovely addition to my tree collection;-)…
