Mybloglog Community Exchange

Oh dear, Mrs. LifeCruiser is on a tagging rampage! She’s tagged me with the MyBloglog Community Exchange started by Garry Conn.

New Hosta Leaves

I don’t think there’s anything prettier than the greens of spring. The vibrant colors of new leaves as they grow are just beautiful to me.

This is a photo of new Hosta leaves. I took the photo just after it had rained which of course is why they are covered in water droplets. I actually have an even pretty picture of the hosta leaves on my photo blog Breath of Life if you’d care to take a look at it. I’m actually quite happy with the way both photos turned out.

As you’ve probably noticed I love taking photos of flowers. I think this year I’m going to try to capture the beauty of foliage a little more often than I’ve tried in the past.

Don’t forget to check out the Chive blooms on As the Garden Grows too!

I’m way behind in posting my Green Thumb Sunday post. I thought that I’d be creating a number of posts on Sunday and didn’t want my GTS post to get buried to fast. I might as well have posted this early Sunday morning because I didn’t get around to doing all the posts that I knew were coming until late Sunday evening. Next time!

I hope to get around to all the GTS sites through the week. I will try. I promise!

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

The Birthday Meme

June 10, 2007 by Tricia

Mrs. Lifecruiser has tagged me with the birth date.

3 Events that occurred on September 6th:

1522 – The Victoria, one of the surviving ships of Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition, returns to Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Spain, becoming the first ship to circumnavigate the world.

1952 – Canada’s first television station, CBFT-TV, opens in Montreal. – and it’s been reruns ever since!

1997 – Princess Diana is laid to rest in front of a television audience of more than 2.5 billion. – That was depressing!

2 Births September 6th:

1947 – Jane Curtin, American actress

1958 – Jeff Foxworthy, American comedian

Why did I pick these people? I like comedians and these are two funny people.

1 death September 6th:

1990 – Tom Fogerty, American singer (b. 1941) of Creedence Clearwater Revival

Chosen because I enjoy Classic rock and CCR.

As you might have guessed by now, yes I’m a Virgo. Can’t you tell?

You are a Virgo if you were born between August 23rd and September 22nd, and your opposite sign is Pisces.

The sign of Virgo is associated with purity and service. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a diligent, analytical, self-sufficient, controlled, orderly, and modest character but one which is also prone to fussiness, and perfectionism. In terms of anatomy, Virgo is said to rule the abdominal region, large and small intestines, spleen, solar plexus, lower lobes of the liver, pancreas, portal veins, umbilicus, hands, nails, and carpal bones.

Great – my abdominal region rules me? Who would’a guessed that one? LOL

I’m not going to tag anyone for this meme, but if you decide to do it let me know and I’ll link to you. (first five only please).

The Maroon Trillium

June 6, 2007 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

DSC01965 copy

Last Sunday I posted a photo of this flower when it was just a lonely bud. I believe most of the members of my Green Thumb Sunday group that saw the photo urged me to post a photo of this Trillium grandiflora in bloom.

I’m fairly certain the first year this hybrid trillium bloomed it was white – as it should be. However, this year and perhaps last year, it became a maroon colored trillium flower. The hybrid might be reverting back to one of it’s parents. I’m not sure. Either way, it’s an unusual colored flower, and an even more unusual color for a trillium.

Trillium Grandiflora

White Trillium bud

I took this photo a few weeks ago.

This is a trillium flower. The trillium is Ontario’s provincial flower, and Ontario is the Canadian province that I live in. It’s illegal to pick or dig up wild trilliums here. Why? Well, it takes forever for them to grow. They do not reproduce easily.

This of course is a trillium in my garden. It’s not a wild trillium. No, it’s a cultivated or hybrid trillium.

It’s supposed to be white but when it blooms the flowers are a deep maroon, almost brown in fact. Perhaps it was labeled wrong at the nursery and isn’t a true Trillium Grandiflora. I do have photos of it’s bloom but they are still on my camera. I’ll have to upload them to my computer soon!

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.
