pics on friday

Because I have read all those posts referring to ice storms (not only) in the US and I have seen the news, I thought I should post my almond tree, the way it looked yesterday. It has been a dry winter and the tree should be looking a lot fuller at this time of the year...


and my "unknown" plant (don't know its name, helpful comments will be appreciated ) which looked like this in november:







an now it looks this bright orange. A tiny flower reminding us spring is on its way. Missed the better moment of the flower while I was away.

  1. Hi Mar.

    Lovely, lovely sunny pics! makes me yearn for Spring as it is grey and cold and damp over here atm.

    I'm afraid I don't know the name of your plant but it had a lovely 'hot' little flower.

    Michele sent me today but I would have shown up at some time :-)

  2. Hi Mar...! I don't know what that plant is...I just know it is some kind of Succulant---well, at least I think it is...It certainly is lush and I would have loved to see that Beautiful Flower in it's prime...!

  10. Oh! I know what that plant is - it's a weed! ha ha, just kidding. I like your almond tree, I had no idea there were almond trees...I guess I never really thought about where almonds came from.

  12. Huh. Well. I was GOING to say that I bet Naomi knows! But I see from reading the comments that she doesn't. So I don't know who else you could ask... but I DO agree it's some sort of succulent! Maybe there is a site on line that shows them ALL... all million and seven of them!

    Is that almond tree and almond tree - like as in it bears fruit which are NUTS??? THAT kind of almond tree? I want one! You better get out there and water it!!!
