It's sunny, so I took a couple of photos. Atlantis is finished:
And here are some lovelies from my back yard. First is the antique rose that blooms outside my bathroom, right by my tub. I'm not sure what type it is, but the cutting came from the family cemetery that goes back a century or so:
And this is called Blue Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium spp.). T-man actually mowed around the clumps of flowers yesterday:
And this is my prickly pear flower(Opuntia lindheimeri):
Other things are blooming, like the pink evening primrose and rain lilies, so I'll try to get pictures of them this week. Unfortunately no bluebonnets came up this year. Plus, I'm halfway through another new bracelet called Fantasia.
So I ask you, who needs to do housework?

Love the new piece!!!!!!
And I'm a fool for blue flowers so that blue-eyed grass has me envious. My rain lilies won't say hi until it actually does rain (watering won't do) in July ;( , but the Mexican primrose (which is probably the same as your pink evening) is having fun peaking out from under the hedges. When we moved in here 10 years ago, the bed under the kitchen window was overrun with them, so I got radical. Now I only have a few odd shoots that come up as pink surprises.
Thanks, Carol Dean. I love it when you admire my work.
I learned to love wildflowers from my grandmother and my mother. To my grandmother, they were just as precious as expencive orchids. And my mom just loves the explosion of color. I'm lucky that T-man is willing to mow only patches in the springtime!
