FFTD: Azaleas
Azaleas are usually Springtime visitors. Some of them, well, they are the late bloomers. This is a small bush on the First Baptist church property. ~Vic

Shutterbug Saturday: Training
My paternal grandfather was a firefighter, my brother-in-law is and my dad nearly was. I grew up going with my grandmother to my hometown’s fire department HQ, bringing lunch for my grandfather. When he retired, he worked dispatch.
As a Drivers License Examiner, I got to give road tests in firetrucks.
I was lucky to catch this. I was walking home from the local market. ~Vic

FFTD: Tulips & Narcissus
A companion piece to an earlier post, the white Narcissus is a beautiful contrast. The telephone pole, not so much. I still don’t remember where the pix were taken. ~Vic
Flower for the Day
FFTD: Yellow
I think this is a Wingstem or Yellow Ironweed (Verbesina Alternifolia). If I am wrong, y’all speak up. ~Vic
Flower for the Day
FFTD: Royal Blue
I will have to figure this one out, later. ~Vic
Update:
After much digging, I found this to be a Salvia Guaranitica or Hummingbird Sage.
Flower for the Day
FFTD: White Narcissus
This was a nice find on an evening walk. I’d never seen a solid white one, before. ~Vic
Flower for the Day
FFTD: Tree of Lavender
This is a tree on the church grounds. It’s huge and gorgeous. I have no idea what kind, though. ~Vic
Update:
This is a Rhododendron, courtesy of a fellow blogger. Thank you!

I haven’t a clue what kind of flower this is but, I will dig around and see what I can find.
Update:
This looks very much like a Forsythia. ~Vic

Flower for the Day
FFTD: Mums
This is a Chrysanthemum that I planted back in 2014. It must have been very happy where I put it because it was huge two years later. It finally gave up the next year. ~Vic
