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.

  1. Pretty. Your mystery shrub looks like some kind of sage.

  4. Love 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.

  13. At least you've got flowers in the middle of all the mess (see latest Apartment Hell). I like the color of the last ones.
