Tickseed AGAIN Flower Friday


Once again,  I am Tickled with Tickseed....  Joining LLB Backyard for Flower Friday

they are gone now, only one or two left. Wildflowers are Wonderful but only for a short time.   The Butterflies are sad, they loved my pot of flowers.  I am happy to report The Bees Are Back and our Bee Tree is HUMMING again.

Tickseed on Flower Friday


Joining LLB in my backyard for Flower Friday with MORE photos of my Tickseed Wildflower in my planter pics.
today I want you to put in order, the five to 10 things you hate most about housework, with the first one disliked the most.  You don't have to use mine, just which ever five you like the least.

cooking (who kneads cooking?)

dusting (another one fights the dust)

vacuuming (housework can't kill you, but why take the chance)

laundry (I say throw in the towel)

changing the linens on human/canine beds (sheets and giggles, no I am not a ghost, I just can't fold fitted sheets)

washing dishes (to much washing up will make you sink into despair)

White Wildflowers


The night the white flowers first bloomed, I held a flashlight and took the above with my phone.


This is my best two shots, they are not much bigger than a pencil eraser... these are all on one stalk at the top.

MOMENT of interest or maybe not...Bob opened the door into the house and yelled from the garage. DID YOU TAKE MY 40 Willy's Coupe?  see the coupe HERE for the story. it is a TOY..

I go to the garage and he points on the shelf where it has lived for to many years to count. GONE! he yells gesturing wildly, NOTHING BUT THE HOOD and points to the tiny one inch hood on the workbench....
I calmly yell Well it must have fallen off, did you check UNDER MY CAR?  he kneels down and says There it is, under your back tire.... I must have knocked it off when I got the airplane down..Tje car is fine and sitting back on the shelf that is has resided on for 28 years

REALLY!!!!! REALLY?????  its HIS workbench HIS garage HIS toy so why would I have it? Well, I did have it once to take photos of it but that was a year ago to create the above post.


Below I lined in red the stalk/leaves for you to help identify. they are thin and spindly and fall down a lot, tiny leaves and stem. almost like Anemones but not quite.

Wildflower Blues, My Black Thumb Miracle



As I typed Wildflower Blues I thought, these wildflowers are actual my Black Thumb Miracle... Every flower I ever planted died except for these and  rose moss and impatiens.


The newest bloom in the wildflowers looks like forget me nots, but doesn't have a yellow center.
It has wide leaves, see below for what they look like before blooming. Can anyone identify?


When  I took these photos, this was the single bloom, yesterday there are 4 of them blooming and I am waiting for 2 new blooms that are about to pop and they are white.

UPDATE! thanks to all the answers, Yamini had identified this flower. it is exactly Chinese Forget me nots or Lindelofia longiflora…  thanks for all the answers...  I checked all three names and the others are really close and might be from the same families.
Identify me please

Flower Friday in backyard


My love for you continues to blossom...

Sorry guys, I am suffereing from Tickseed/Shutterbug fever... 

 Bee's love Tickseed. So Do I.

FLOWER POWER!!!!!

How do florist make their money? by petaling their goods. 
When a florist is late delivering his goods to a wedding, he puts the petal to the metal.. brahaha



Yes that is a weed choking the statue of Pan playing his lute, but I love it anyway
This statue of Pan was bought by my husbands first wife,in 1970. We moved it from St Petersburg to  this home he has been in this place for 28 years. Dog chase each other, Pan falls over, Head rolls away,  Pan falls over, Head falls off, Three times Bob has put it back together with liquid nails concrete stuff in a thingy.... can you tell I don't know what the stuff is?  I love this photo and it is now my desktop photo of choice.

Color Me Wildflower Yellow


I love yellow flowers, 
I have been totally blow away by this brilliant yellow with burgundy center flower.
Day 3,  3, day 4 there were  7, then 9 and then 14.
YES! I was counted them
It took me 3 days to identify them and I was shocked, I say I WAS SHOCKED!

I found out they are Our Florida state wildflower,  Tickseed better known as Coreopsis in the plant world. 
When I scattered the package of wildflowers I had no idea what would come up.


Backside above is as pretty as front side below.... these were my first day, first flowers taken with my phone. Fret Not Dear Friends.... They get better with the NIKON....

you are about to be blown away by Tickseed Photos, coming soon to a blog near you.




Walk this way to see what I have seen..next time

Wildflowers On Flower Friday


More of my Wildflowers in a pot, Joining LLB Backyard on Flower Friday.

These were taken with my Nikon, the prior post taken with my Cell...

These beauties were the first to bloom.. 4 of them on 2 different days. I believe them to be Cosmos.

I whisper to them and say " hurry and bloom, I am rootin for you!'


Show your true colors, Open up, Celebrate your natural beauty, be wild and wonderful.



Who put that strap there? See the concrete container below? there are about 30 wildflowers in there and the are all almost ready to blooms, so far 2 yellow and 3 reds. I don't even know what they will be. Color me excited. This is my first time planting flower seeds....

BUT WAIT, There Will Be MORE!
Help! I am snapping and I can't Stop...
