A delicate flower in a friend’s pretty garden. Later note: Geranium “Ann Folkard.”
Some kind of geranium, perhaps, blooming in August

I have a bougainvillea standard (little tree) that I take inside each fall. Here it is enjoying the sunshine on our patio.
Colorful papery bracts enclose the true white flower of the bougainvillea plant.

I’ve been using a better grade of fertilizer in my little backyard vegetable garden and it has paid off beautifully. Never had such beautiful string beans, ever! The purple ones cook up green, the wax beans stay yellow, and both are easier to find and pick. All taste wonderful!
