This Mimosa Tree blossom is not only an attraction to Butterflies and Hummingbirds, but it is so delicate and so colorful and it’s like a Mini – fireworks display – nothing short of an explosion of color! this tree came as a volunteer and was not even noticed for a few years…......my friend Bonnie Barry wrote a story once about a volunteer Mimosa Tree and has graciously consented to my using it along with this image….Bonnie, Thank you!!! You can check her works by just typing in Miracles in the search field. / / ____ Joyce, I thought you might like this little story I wrote years ago about a mimosa I loved. All the best, Bonnie Mimosa While I was watering the wilted caladiums near my angel statue, I looked up and noticed the mimosa in all its glory. Here I was working diligently to make the caladiums grow, yet there it stood, radiant without human effort. How many other plants had I set in this same spot through the years? The angel’s trumpet . . . impatiens . . . . those unusual little two-tone flowers whose names I can’t remember. All of them curled up and died. The soil was awful here; roots were knotted through the area; the trees sapped all the moisture. I’d wasted many a dollar on this spot, yet there was the mimosa looking down on me in gentle amusement. I had not planted the mimosa. I had never tilled the soil for it. I had not even watered it through the three-year drought. Yet three years ago it had been little more than a naked stick poking from the ground. The only reason it stayed put was that it was too close to the hurricane fence for Tommy to lop it as he mowed. The mimosa was a gift, a pure gift from God. I couldn’t claim any part in its flourishing. Either God’s wind had blown its seed to this corner or God’s birds had unwittingly deposited it. Only the miracle of nature could have made it grow like this without human care or cultivation. Yet now it produced all the color and vibrancy, all the grace and beauty that I had tried to achieve through the years with no success at all. / How like my life, I thought. Sometimes all my strained efforts are fruitless, yet in the midst of the sterility, God drops a single word, a single thought, and everything is suddenly alive and beautiful. Apart from Him, I can do nothing, yet I work like a Trojan to do it anyway. Maybe the gifts are rewards for my efforts, and maybe they are just freely given out of pure love. Who knows? Whatever the reason, the Source is undeniable. ___ “Every good gift and every perfect endowment comes from the Father of Lights,” (James 1:17) the mimosa whispers to me in gentle and amused remembrance. / __ / All The Materials Contained May Not Be Reproduced, Copied, Edited, Published, Transmitted Or Uploaded In Any Way Without My Permission.

The inner depths of a Moon Flower with a blue tint. If you need a bit of relaxing, just enlarge this image and submerge yourself into the depths of it; it really works! There is something about the calming effect of the color blue, and being enveloped in this luscious flower blossom does the trick for me! I actually took this in a bowl of water, on my kitchen table….the light was just coming through the window a bit and it added a little “glow” to the blossom…....this is taken with a Canon A640, 10 megapixel….....hope you enjoy it as much as I. The Inner Depths of Blue There is nothing like it, / Not the sweet smell of the elegant Rose, / Nor the luminescence of the morning dew. / Nothing shares the calming effects of / The Inner Depths of Blue.

The species are perennials from bulbs, the tunicate bulbs often produced on the ends of stolons and covered with hairless to variously hairy papery coverings. The species include short low-growing plants to tall upright plants, growing from 10 to 70 centimeters (4–27 in) tall. They can even grow in the cold and snowy winter. Plants typically have 2 to 6 leaves, with some species having up to 12 leaves. The cauline foliage is strap-shaped, waxy-coated, usually light to medium green and alternately arranged. The blades are somewhat fleshy and linear to oblong in shape. The large flowers are produced on scapes or subscapose stems normally lacking bracts. The stems have no leaves to a few leaves, with large species having some leaves and smaller species have none. Typically species have one flower per stem but a few species have up to four flowers. The colourful and attractive cup shaped flowers typically have three petals and three sepals, which are most often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. The six petaloid tepals are often marked near the bases with darker markings. The flowers have six basifixed, distinct stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals and the stigmas are districtly 3-lobed. The ovaries are superior with three chambers. The 3 angled fruits are leathery textured capsules, ellipsoid to subglobose in shape, containing numerous flat disc-shaped seeds in two rows per locule.

It’s Winter in Australia, which means the Wattle is beginning to bloom. In my area we’ll soon be surrounded by a sea of bouncing little balls of yellow…... Did you know : / - Wattle is Australia’s official floral emblem, having adorned our Coat Of Arms since 1912. / - there are around 950 different species of Wattle….. which is why I have no clue as to which one this is! / - On 1 September 1910 the Sydney Morning Herald stated: / “To many Australians the wattle stands for home, country, kindred, sunshine and love; every instinct that the heart most deeply enshrines.”........ nice :) [canon 1000D, canon scanner for texture, PS watercolour] WINNER – Wattle challenge – October 2009
