Waiting for Ryann Chelsea (SOOC)

The anticipation is just almost too much to bear.  Last fall I bought two plumeria cuttings.  Because they were only rooted last year, I really didn't expect any blooms this summer.  Still, the Ryann Chelsea variety has been taunting me for several weeks with the promise of blossoms.  

Watching the twisted buds grow and start to explode has been very exciting, but then, I just get excited about things like that.    You can't imagine the self-discipline it takes to keep from reaching in and trying to help them unfurl.  Yes, I know better . . . learned that lesson many long years ago when I tried to help rush a rose bud.  

So I'm waiting . . . Maybe tomorrow.

Backyard Plumeria

"We see things, not as they are but as we are."  Anais Nin 1903-1977

I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  Your works are wonderful.  I know that full well.  Psalm 139:14

Plumeria

We're finally beginning to dry out a little, and a few of the plants on my patio are starting to bloom.  It's about time.
