5/27: flower friends, old and new

When we moved to Arkansas I didn't expect to see cactuses, but there are beavertail cactus plants scattered throughout the state. It turns out that there are two of them in our yard. I'm happy to see them flower each year; it reminds me of the good times which Chris and I have spent in the California desert.


Before moving to Arkansas I hadn't seen or heard of spiderwort, but I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. It's a magical flower. We're lucky enough to have hundreds of them growing around us.
