Each week I tell you guys all the craziness around here, so today I thought I would being a little bit of beauty from my walk with Falcor. This bush has tiny purple flowers all over it. I don't know what the shrub is but it's so pretty.
Here's a closer look at the tiny purple flowers.
My apartment complex is also home to two varieties of Oleander bushes. This is a small bush and only has a couple of pink flowers. I should mention that the entire plant is poisonous. If you eat it, it could kill you.
Here's the white Oleander flowers. Very pretty but don't try eating it.
I also came across a few of these tiny yellow wild flowers. They were hard to get a good picture of because they are tiny, about half the size of my pinkie nail.
There aren't a lot of flowers around here but there were a few.
The bush with the purple flowers is lovely, but I can't identify it because I don't have anything similar in my garden.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have no idea what it is either.
DeleteThe first one looks like rosemary, we have it in our yard too, it is currently in full bloom!
ReplyDeleteRosemary? I wonder if that's what it is.
DeleteLove that purple bush.
ReplyDeleteSomeone that one of my brother's used to work with found out (when the police knocked on his door) that his wife had been slowly poisoning him with oleander tea. His doctor had got suspicious and had samples of his urine analysed. She was convicted of attempted murder too.
That's terrible.
DeleteHi, Mary!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking me along on your walk around the neighborhood. I admire the bursts of purple, red, white and green. I suppose we could call the pretty but poisonous Oleander a femme fatale of the plant kingdom.
Have a safe and happy weekend, new friend Mary!
I'm glad that you liked the pictures. There aren't a lot of flowers around here.
DeleteLovely flowers :)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThose are nice flowers. Isn't it a bit dangerous having poisonous plants around an apartment building? There might be kids living there, and you know how small children will put just about anything in their mouths.
ReplyDeleteYou would think so. The new owners might not know what they are.
DeletePretty! I really like the shrub with the purple flowers. Have a great weekend Mary. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIsn't it amazing what flowers grow in the desert?
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteThose really are pretty and they do show off the beauty of your neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteThere aren't a lot of flowers but I found a few.
DeleteI don’t think Oleander can grow here, but it would be a pretty bush that the deer wouldn’t eat I’m guessing.
ReplyDeleteI would hope they wouldn't eat it.
DeleteI have oleander growing here, but the killer freeze we had in February almost did it in. Your flowers are stunning. More, more, more of the beauty of where you live, please.
ReplyDeleteI will try to post more of this type of thing.
DeleteIt's nice to see some beauty when you are out and about. The flowers sure are pretty, thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSpring flowers are always so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, they are.
DeleteLove seeing all the wild and domestic flower bushes in bloom, Mary. Sometimes wild lavender can take that round bush look with small purple, pink or bluish-purple when in bloom, but I think the flowers are different shape so probably not quite that.
ReplyDeleteSomeone else said it looked like rosemary.
DeleteThe bush with the purple flowers are BEAUTIFUL! orher spring flowers are beautiful too. I love spring season.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I really like them too.
DeleteI need to get out for a walk. I was going to say we haven't got any spring flowers out yet but then I thought, how would I know cooped up inside all day long.
ReplyDeleteOh I totally get it.
DeleteI love flowers! Seeing them while out and about always perks me up.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteI like purple flowers, those are nice. Yikes about the poisonous one!
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be everywhere. I don't know why they picked the poisonous ones.
DeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI had Oleander in my yard in Georgia. Like the smell and the fact it was never eaten by the deer (I think it was also poisonous to them).
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't surprise me. Maybe they know not to eat it.
DeleteThey are so pretty! I love them all but the purple are my fave!
ReplyDeleteThe purple ones are my favorite too.
DeleteAt least your Apartment Hell has got pretty flowers LOL.
ReplyDeletelol Yes, there is an upside.
DeleteI love purple flowers. 💜
