| Tillandsia caliginosa |
Another lovely Tillie has bloomed, and it's one of the rare scented species. Tillandisa caliginosa (kah-lee-jee-NO-sa) has tiny, brown and yellow flowers. But the flowers smell powerfully of mimosa, honey, and bread dough. A rare treat for the Tillie gardener, I've been happily huffing T. caliginosa's perfume this weekend. And of course, still working with my Corel program and making pots.
Here's one of our neighborhood cottontail rabbits, so sweet! We've named him Victor- he comes to our garden to watch the sunsets over the river, seriously. (Bunnies are very artistic and spiritual creatures.) Here's Victor watching the sunset with great interest and appreciation....Have a great weekend!
So your bunnies like to watch the sunset? Our cat likes to watch TV! I guess that's what happens to domesticated animals. I think I'll stay wild and watch live sunsets.
ReplyDeleteLive sunsets rock. But if I were a cat, I'd like TV, too.
ReplyDeleteI saw one of these guys around sunset this evening. He wasn't watching the sky but munching happily on dandelion greens. I appreciate the fact that the bunnies in my garden only eat the weeds! Good going, bunnies!
ReplyDeleteDandelions are the best! Tastier than sunsets, too.
DeleteMy bunnies have been very bad. :( I had 15 Haworthia truncata plants set out on the ground to take to the plant show and sale a month ago. A week before the show I noticed a little, and yes, cut, bunny hopping around the plants. When I went over to see what he/she was up to I found all the Haworthia trucata leaves eaten right back to the soil line. The plants will survive but they didn't get to go to the sale. They will have to wait until next year. The little bunny sure knew the best plants to eat!!
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of cottontails and rare Marsh Rabbits here, so people make small enclosures with rabbit-proof fencing for parts of their gardens. Haworthia truncata would be a delicious and succulent snack for a bunn!
