Wacky Wednesday

Can you believe it's the last day of February?

All kinds of tropical fruits.

Exotic Flowers

And cute critters.

Fill In The Blank

I got a huge kick out of these guys.

What do you think he was saying?
I think:

Happy Birthday and Dragobete Day

AND....

Romania's equivalent of Valentine's Day

It's Friday

AND....
There're several blogster buds whose birthdays I don't have.  Feel free to leave yours in the comment section.

Ardastra Gardens

Please join me in a stroll through Ardastra Gardens.

Isn't he a beauty?

This is one tenacious plant.

This guy was showing off for us.

We'll continue our walk next week.

A Garden in February

The Christmas Rose is considering a dual identity as an Easter Rose.

Oh my cod, the tulips have popped up.

Imagine my surprise when the money tree planted in the backyard bloomed in time to give a branch to the HH for Valentine's Day. (Yes, I am joking.  That is one plant I haven't been able to lay my hands on. Heh.)

All gone.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Di!

It's Friday...

It's Thursday,

Street Art Day.

AND....
I'm getting a root canal today. Oh yay.

Happy Valentine's Day AND Happy Birthday

Will you be my valentine?

And.....

Flamingos

The Caribbean Flamingos were one of the many highlights of Ardastra Gardens.  Notice how brilliant the flamingos' color is? Their color comes from the carotenoids in their diet.  The garden adds carotenoid supplements to bring out their striking color.
A baby flamingo is white or gray. It takes three to five years for these unique birds to reach maturity. In the wilds, they can live to be anywhere between twenty and forty.  In captivity, if lucky, they might live to be seventy. A greater flamingo lived to the age of eighty-three in a zoo in Australia.
They are monogamous creatures. After the flamingo wedding they stay faithful to their mate.

This crew had a human 'drill sergeant' that herded them into the arena and marched them around in a circle where they would stop before each group of folks that were seated.  When they stopped in front of us we were to applaud to reinforce their behavior.

Aren't they amazing?
