LOOKING UP
I think I may have mentioned this Pomegranate tree before...I pass it most days when walking Boo, but had never realised that it has such vivid orange flowers on it at this time of year - the dark 'shell' is an unpicked pomegranate.
LOOKING DOWN
I couldn't believe it when I noticed these beautiful blue flowers growing by the roadside...not only because of the intense shade of blue...but also because it is a plant I'm always hauling out, as I count it as a weed!...maybe I'll be leaving them alone next time I find them in the garden!!
Talking of photographs, it's time for RINDA'S SUMMER SCAVENGER HUNT....it has become a much-loved summer tradition amongst us bloggers!!! Check HERE for details....I'm hoping to get started this weekend! Thanks for organising it again Rinda.
Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you

Oh yes I'd leave it, how pretty. Mind you I know they say love in the mist is a weed, I'd love to grow it and it never takes for me :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colours in your up and down photos this week x
ReplyDeleteWhoa - I never knew that pomegranate trees/bushes got flowers like that either. So pretty! And it's so fun to see the different varieties of flowers around the world - those blue ones are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a pomegranate tree before ... I didn't even know it was a tree! That is a very pretty 'weed', but I love all blue flowers :)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a pomegranate tree before, how pretty are those flowers?!
ReplyDeleteboth beautiful - I am torn by 'weeds' that have pretty flowers

ReplyDeleteThat vivid blue is a wonderful sight.
ReplyDeleteI'd encourage it, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a pomegranate tree either! I love the little blue daisy, I have this overwhelming need to find the name of a flower that I don't know, have a look here. http://seasonsflow.wordpress.com/2011/08/05/a-widespread-blue-wildflower-for-ohios-summer/ (hope you don't mind?)
ReplyDeleteI love flower photos! Lovely photos Allison! I can't wait to see your photos for the scavenger hunt again this year!
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed looking at the vivid colours of the beautiful flowers in this post and the last :o)
ReplyDeleteI had never even thought about what a pomegranate grows on ... a bush/tree/vine???? WOW to the flowers too. Your LULD sets are so interesting Alison TFS xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out, and I really like the blue/orange combination in your pairing this week.

They are indeed wonderfully blue - you'll be saving the seed and planting them next year!
