Another late night of teaching at Lillstreet… with some beautiful crabapple blossoms in the darkness, highlighted by the corner street lamp as I left to head home. With overnight winds & upcoming rain predicted, I fear this might be the end of the crabapple blooms?!

Okay, so one orchid has a nice handmade & stamped flower pot…
the other one doesn’t. You decide!

Looks like Rosene’s orchid is very happy!
Looks like Matthew needs a better flower pot!

The Spring flowers are still hanging on here in Chicago with the cooler weather…. just a little concerned that this new heatwave is gonna zap them all?! But still, these beautiful crab apple blossoms are striking while basking in the sun!

Enjoying the Spring flowers these days.
Still gray & chilly outside, but with a lot of beautiful colors popping up all over the neighborhood… and on my back porch!

While our temps are still chilly waking up in the low 40’s…. it is wonderful to see that Spring is finally here!!! And that all of those April Showers did indeed make some beautiful May Flowers!!!

Looks like Spring is finally here… the May Flowers are a little early, although we’ve had more than enough April Showers!!!

Kickin’ off the new week with a little bright spot… working its way through the urban landscape to brighten the day! Happy Monday!!!

My kitchen windowsill is currently abloom… with a few orchids re-blooming just in time for NATIONAL ORCHID DAY today! Their timing is impeccable as they just started opening two days ago… and they’re pretty splashing some color in my kitchen! Good thing they seem to “thrive” with neglect… cause I’m not the best at remembering to water them!!!
