In April we did have still lots of rain, like at the end of March while we were in Arizona.
Not so positive for a lot of blossoms...
Our Robinia pseudoacacia - Black Locust after the rain...
Husband Pieter could make this photo in the afternoon on April 15.
Full of rain drops...
Funny thing was that the tree only had blossoms on one side!
Weeds alongside the creek grow very well in all the rain!
The neighboring tree is the Acer Negundo Kelly's Gold Yellow Box Elder
At the moment we suffer a severe drought...

Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThe white blossom is so pretty - I love white flowers.
Hopefully you will have some rain soon to break the drought
Enjoy the week
hugs
Carolyn
Dearest Carolyn,
DeleteSuch type of blossoms are always pretty looking, like wisteria and such.
We desperately need rain, some trees already look like they will die.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeletethis white Robinia is wonderful!
Wishing you a lovely rest of the week,
sending Love and hugs,
Claudia
Dearest Claudia,
DeleteLooks similar to the wisterias and it is lovely for the time it blooms.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, Although rain can beat down the blossoms, I love walking in the yard or in nature after a rain, when there seems to be an overall calm, and everything is fresh and dripping from the recent shower.
ReplyDelete--Jim
Dearest Jim,
DeleteYes, you are very right about that and it's especially for now a dream as we are having such a drought. Nature can be rough at times and we have to try to make the best out of it.
Kindest regards,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedas ist wiederum sehr hübsch.
Sonnige Grüße

Liebe Elisabeth,
DeleteDanke, es war auch sehr hübsch für den Moment.
Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Mooie bloeiende boom, jammer dat het nu zo droog is, de natuur heeft wel wat water nodig.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteJa, de verdeling van water over de gehele wereld is niet altijd gelijk... Wij zitten er echt om verlegen nu. Er zal weer veel kapot gaan.
Liefs,
Mariette
Lieve Mariette,
ReplyDeletePrachtige bloesem draagt de Robinia, jammer dat de bloesemtijd maar van korte duur is en bij regen en wind is het nog sneller gedaan met de tere bloemblaadjes.
Maar gelukkig heb je de foto's nog☺
Fijn weekeind en lieve groet,Ger
Lieve Ger,
DeleteJa, in dit geval hebben we geluk dat Pieter nog mooie foto's er van maakte na zo'n regenbui. We verlangen al weken naar echte regen weer.
Liefs en ook een fijn weekeind.
Mariette
Questa painta è bellissima con i suoi fiori bianchi!Baci,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteCara Rosetta,
DeleteGrazie e era veramente bellissima!
Baci,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedas mit der Dürre habe ich über Zeitung mitbekommen. Schon manchmal nicht gut verteilt das Wetter. Hier regnet es den dritten Tag und bis unter 1000 Meter hat es Schnee gegeben zwischen 30 - 80 cm. Jetzt müssen wir ein paar Ausflüge verschieben, denn wir möchten ja nicht im Schnee den Frühling geniessen.
Hoffe der Regen lässt bei euch nicht mehr lange auf sich warten.
Herzlichst
Julia
Liebe Julia,
DeleteOh meine Güte was für ein Pech um Ausflüge verschieben zu müssen wegen dem Schnee! Fast Juni und dann so etwas. Hätten wir doch etwas davon in Regenform...
Wir hoffen auch es kommt nicht zu spät!
Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Your blossoms are very lovely. Looks like they do great in the rain. We have been having lots of rain this year, but it's got very dry since last week or so. We had a bit of shower and it was a relief! I hope some rain will move in your area, too. Have a wonderful day, Mariette!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteThank you they were looking rather happy indeed but at the moment many plants, shrubs and trees are struggling because of the severe drought.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThe rain in Arizona will I had raining in Melborne, Not much flowers.I hope next time are not same time?
Husband Pieter's has photo in the afternoon he can do when it rains.
Hugs and Love from both of you!
Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteYou seem to have quite some rain in Melbourne; wish we got some here! The garden is really taking its toll already.
Sending you hugs and love from both of us.
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such beautiful pictures. Those blooms seem so pure.
Dearest Munir,
DeleteYou're quite welcome and we too are happy with at least these photos from this year's blossoms. We do need rain desperately.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette
ReplyDeleteWonderful flowers. The advantage when it rains, the plants thrive.
Here it rains and unusually cold.
Have a nice weekend
Kajsa
Dearest Kajsa,
DeleteHow much we would LOVE to finally get some rain now after weeks of drought.
It is also hot...
Hugs and happy weekend to you!
Mariette

Dearest Dimi,

Pluie ou sécheresse, c'est dur !
ReplyDeleteLes fleurs de faux robinier sentent super bon. Et les beignets tu connais ?
Bises Mariette
Chère Nathalie,
DeleteNon, je ne savais pas que ces fleurs d'acacia peuvent être mangés comme des beignets. Merci de mentionner cela ; nous pouvons apprendrer les uns des autres.
Bises,
Mariette
I love the Robinia trees and their flowers!!There are plenty around the area where we used to have our first summer house but we don't have any where we live now.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs, dear Mariette!!!!
Dearest Marie-Anne,
DeleteWe love them too as they are so pretty in the spring.
Hugs and love to you,
Mariette
