Favorite Picture of the Week
We have a small red oleander bush out front of my apartment complex. It's not as big as the white one but it's a nice splash of color around here. No clouds this week, how about some flowers.
There are a couple of these bushes with the purple flowers. Not sure what they are.
The flowers are pretty though.
And across the street I spotted these pink flowers right before the landscapers cut the bush down really small.

Pretty. Your mystery shrub looks like some kind of sage.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. I have no idea.
DeleteSure would like to visit your area and see the desert landscape. Flowers and plants are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe mountains here have a lot of flowers this time of year.
DeleteThe grounds do seem a bit nicer with the new owners.
ReplyDeleteThey do pick up things around here.
DeleteLove those pops of color! And why do people have to cut things down that are blooming? The red and lavender color look pretty against the gray paint on the apartment.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. They do though and it's a shame.
DeleteThe blooms and bushes are pretty.
ReplyDeleteDoes oleander have a nice scent?
Take care, enjoy your day!
The oleander doesn't have much scent to it.
DeleteThe flowering shrubs are so pretty right now. I'm glad you have some of that beauty near you, Mary.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Deletebeautiful flowering shrubs! you know it's spring now :)
ReplyDeleteIt's hot here already. Summer.
DeleteThese flowers are beautiful. We have more flowers this year than we have ever had in the past in our yard.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds nice.
DeleteThe flowers do look nice. It's already looking hot over there, though.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's 100 here already.
DeleteEvery splash of colour is welcome!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
DeleteVery pretty flowers. It's always nice to see colour.
ReplyDeleteYes it is.
DeleteHopefully, the landscapers are knowledgeable and that plant will return.
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
DeleteAt least you've got flowers in the middle of all the mess (see latest Apartment Hell). I like the color of the last ones.
ReplyDeleteThat's true.
DeleteI never knew Oleander grew in the desert...
ReplyDeleteThere's quite a few bushes of it in my neighborhood.
DeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteReally beautiful, Mary!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSpring has sprung and it's looking real pretty by you
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThey are lovely Mary :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI love seeing all the blooms this time of year!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked them
DeleteHave you read or seen White Oleander? So good! Especially the novel…
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't.
DeleteThose are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIt is nice seeing some colours in the desert. We currently have irises in all colours and lavander should be blooming in a month too, a bit later this year than usual.
ReplyDeleteI bet that's pretty.
DeleteAlways nice to see flowers ... lovely photographs Mary.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you.
DeleteLots of nice blooms.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThe purple mystery plant. Not a sage, not a salvia. I am wondering if it is a bush bougainvillea. It doesn't have the white flowers In the center but I think there are varieties that don't. and some are purple. Now I want to know! I also enjoyed the oleander photo.

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what it is.
DeleteCould the purple flowers be lavender? Can't see for sure. I like lavender.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea.
DeleteSuch beautiful flowers Mary and I can see why that first one is your favorite. I love the splash of red and the shadows. Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteEvery little bit of color around here helps.
DeleteThose are nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThese flowers are beautiful. I'm reading a book right now (A is for Alilbi) where the person does from a pill substituted with ground oleander leaves.
ReplyDeleteI love all the flowers! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love everything that blooms
