prickly

This is a part of the trumpet flower. I think that it may hold seeds inside? No clue, really. I'll keep watching it, in hopes of finding out.

(The plant did re-seed itself this summer so now I have two ginormous plants in our front flower bed. I need to remember this next year, so I can transplant at least one to another part of the yard.)

more flowers

This is another shot of the ever-blooming trumpet flower. (My mom calls it an angel trumpet flower. I'm sure it has other names.) Note the blooms on the ground. They bloom once, then fall off.

cotton candy sky

We finally had a decent rain this evening. When it went away, we were left with a sky that looked a little like cotton candy.

I wasn't able to get the full pink effect, as I wasted a few minutes searching for my camera.

garden melon

I thought a squash plant had started to seed in our garden. It turns out that it was a melon. (It re-seeded in the compost that we started last year.)
