Our Hoya Bella Blooms

 Trying to catch up on things...

On May 25, a perfect close up of the beautiful fragrant Hoya Bella in our veranda with the Delftware houses.

This is the one hanging in our kitchen bay window with my hand crocheted curtains.

Not easy to capture...

Got two tiny starters and Pieter babied them and he later had to plant them in the larger planters.

Love their perfect tiny blooms!

This is the one in the veranda

Dreamy with the Delftware houses...

The kitchen bay window has the antique brass one on chains, with inner pot of course.

In the veranda we have a Delft White hanging planter for which I first had to find brass chains on line, at McMaster–Carr.

My Pieter always managed to put it together...

Perfect Marasmius sp.

 On May 16, did find this perfect and rather large Marasmius sp. on our lawn when I went early morning to feed the birds.

Such a perfect one!

Holding my finger next to this Marasmius sp. so you get an idea about its size.

FIRST Fragrant Magnolia Grandiflora 'Namnetensis Flore Pleno'

On April 30, the day that my Pieter went to heaven, I came home from the funeral home and spotted this FIRST fully open blossom...

Fragrant Magnolia Grandiflora 'Namnetensis Flore Pleno'

Parked my car inside the garage and captured it as it was also very low on this huge tree and easy to access.

Its planter is no longer with us to admire this tree which he planted in 1993 but no doubt my Pieter is watching over his estate from heaven...

It really IS summer here with 38°C or 100°F

Today it was 39°C or 102°F
