Wow it worked!!

Wow, I see my experiment worked!!
I now have a clustrmap, so I can tell where my visitors are from!! Neat no?
My days have been so full latley I've not had time to post anything on my blog....I also must admit, I'm looking for a new interesting idea to share.
Until I find one, I'm going to go for more flower pics!!

Our coast coral tree ( Erythrina Caffra) began blooming around the 10th of March..(It's really not ours, it's in the yard behind us, but I can see it so well from our bedroom window, I've adopted it!!)
I snapped it everyday as the lovely short, broard petals emerged into clusters resembling a cockscomb. They're a bright, warm orangy-red color. Usually the flowers appear even before the leaves, but this year, maybe due to all the rain we've had,the tree is full of both flowers and leaves!!

Yesterday I went on a picture splurge ( AGAIN)
The Jacaranda( Jacaranda mimosifolia) trees in town are all in bloom..along the avenues, in yards, in the parks. They are just beautiful with their clusters of blue tubular flowers. Once the petals start to fall they leave magnificent blue carpets under the trees, and the flowers are replaced by little round, woody pods.
I'm going to show you some pictures of this feathery, ferny tree in all it's glory!

So these are the two marvellous acts of creation I'll be posting later on today!!
I hope you come back to enjoy them...

angela a dit…

I love Jacaranda mimosifolia (mimo-mimmo, si-susi, and so on). Here we have some almond-trees in bloom, but now they are under the snow.
The snow is always possibile in this Country, sometimes also in Mai or August months. The history Rita Saint of Cascia’s life tell when Rita dead, ( 22 mai 1447), some roses were blooming under the snow. Miracle or extraordinary but sometimes repeating event ?
