Blooming Walls

Ahhh...SPRINGtime!!! The season that makes me giddy with anticipation. I welcome it with floral pictures I have taken in the  past....here goes!     FLOWERS on WALLS......

Bougainvilla climbing on this beautiful house by the beach.
My sister RUTH loves  bougainvillas. She calls them BOOMBELS.



Like I said this house  stands by the beach fronting the Meditteranean Sea.
 I took this picture in 2010  at Roquebrune, South of France.

Beautiful morning glory basking in the sun...


My sweetheart Steve pushing the stroller that carried my other sweetheart Zachary
as we  explored  St. Tropez, France.
My sister BETH poses against the  wall of  climbing wisteria....Nashville, Indiana


Here, we were looking for a family-friendly beach in St. Tropez...you know where
every one wears legit bathing suits...:-)

Now this apartment building so wrapped in wisteria is in downtown New York...
I took this picture while Steve and I explored on foot in 2005...two years before Zachary came along.
Not flowers but fruit---bunches of grapes  grace the trellis of someone's yard in St. Tropez, France
Now these are  hanging roots in my friend Alex's  seventeeneightyfour.blogspot.com garden
Thus ends my warm welcome to SPRING. May we all enjoy beautiful, edible and ornamental  garden this year.

Fig Cuttings

I finally got the courage to prune my potted figs.

So last night I googled "rooting fig cuttings"

Ahh but there are many ways.

I'll just go the easiest way. Rooting them in water. Wish me well.
