Flowers like fireworks 🎇🥰

Longevity spinach (Gynura procumbens) and Pitangatuba (Eugenia neonitida)

#gardening #GrowYourOwn #organic #FoodSecurity #florespondence #flowers #plants #perennials #bloomscrolling

A close up of a pitangatuba flower. You can barely see the four white petals faded into the background. What you mostly see is an explosion of dozens of white stamens. The filaments are long and white and the anthers are a light cream color and flattened ball shaped. You barely notice the pistil at the center that is a white teardrop shape terminating in a green stigma. The background is faded shades of green.

Birdie bath time. 🐥

Whenever I water my plants, birds come to shower and floof themselves in leaves. (Cardinal, nuthatch, Carolina wren, chickadee)

Here is a chickadee floofing itself in my guabiju (Myrcianthes pungens). Jaboticabas are also a favorite floofing plant. They seem to really like the small leaves.

A chickadee rapidly shakes itself among the leaves of a densely grown small-leafed plant that just had water dumped on it. The bird lands on the top part, floofs, jumps down to a middle part, floofs again and then hops up out of sight to a larger pot. Behind the floofing plant is a large green pot with a large plant. The floofing plant is in a colorful pot that is hand painted with floral stencils. It is sitting on a platform next to another large pot in the shade. Above that in a stand is another colorful hand-painted pot with different floral stencils.

Bunnytrix Hopper is a very good bunny! Just check out her eating the weeds in my garden. 🥰😇

A most delightful rabbit, 10/10.

#rabbit #rabbits #Bunny #gardening #wildlife #nature #SoProud

A short video shows a close up of a young rabbit casually nibbling on some weeds. It is sitting in my garden next to the brick border. There is a hose going parallel to the border and the bunny is sitting in the space between. There are a bunch of spring bulb greens I trimmed down but bits of weeds are in the garden. The bunny nibbles on, cutting it at its base, then nibbles some more cutting the stem in half. It finishes eating half the weed and then picks up the fallen bit and devours that too. The bunny is tawny undercoat with dark coat hairs. It is soft and white underneath. Her ears are still quite small and twitch with all the bird sounds.

I feel like if the intrepid bunny and I are going to be friends, it’s got to have a name. I can’t just be like “what’s up, furball?” every time I see it. It just doesn’t seem proper.

Any suggestions?

So there are two baby bunnies that call my yard home. First is a fearless fur fren who doesn’t hop away when I walk by. Second little dude thinks he’s pretty sneaky. Third pic is the first sugar snaps of the season. 🥰

Another baby bunny sits underneath a blue dolly. The ground is concrete and there are a few leaves. Behind the dolly is a bright orange pot. The dolly casts a lot of shade over the bunny. It is is scrunched up into a furry blob that makes it look chubby. His nose is pointing right and his bum is to the left. He is staring at the camera. His ears are small and he doesn’t have as white a collar as its likely sibling.
Four richly green sugar snap peas in a row on a camel brown cutting board. They still have there flower tops on and look super fresh.
