with a subtle honey-scent?
Too hard?
Well let's just forget about it for a moment.
Since I've been spending some time of late with the back gardens, here's a few pics from a little section near to the back door..

Nandina (Sacred Bamboo)
at front, Kalanchoe thyrsiflora 'Flapjacks'
not sure the name of these succulents? Anyone?
Back to the mystery flower now? It was .....
Clover! Did you know it?
Nice exercise in flower ID!
ReplyDeleteI thought those little ones in the birdbath looked like artichokes, but way too pretty!
The ones in the birdbath might be hen and chick?? Just a guess.
ReplyDeletey…e…a…p, I think that might be them Diane! I have another differing succulent …and I’m not sure if that one though is the ‘hen and chick’. We’ll see what the general concensus is.
ReplyDeleteI did not recognize it! Our clover is predominantly yellow.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL flower pictures Carole..... very well done.
ReplyDeletei'd have said hen and chicks, too.
ReplyDeletenice! i like those flapjacks!
I had no idea. Beautiful flowers, though! Hen and chicks I am familiar with...my mother used to have them when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteI love that macro shot of what I believe is clover.. and your hens and chicks seem to be happy in that lovely container.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day, Carole.
YES!!! I knew it was clover... I've been testing my new macro lens on clover (and more).
ReplyDeleteYour garden is delightful!!
Liebe Carole,
ReplyDeletewas für wunderschöne Blumenbilder und Kaktuseart!
Ich schaue mir immer gerne deinen Blog an..
Lieben Gruss Elke
I shall look more closely at clover from now on!
ReplyDeleteI have some Hens & Chicks and the look very similar. There are more than one verity of Hens & Chicks. I real like these wonderful little Succulents.
ReplyDeletePhotos of flowers are amazing. Great colors. I'm most interested in still life with Kalanchoe thyrsiflora. Lovely place. Have a nice weekend. Peter.
ReplyDeleteNot off the top of my head...but I knew I had seen it before! Great picture Carole!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jan
Great photo Carole, compliment.
ReplyDeleteI have read your message in my inbox, but very strange you're not in my blog.
Maybe you want to try again??
Greetings Irma
Was für herrliche Fotos und Blumen.
ReplyDeleteLG Mathilda ♥
Clever you. The honey scent should have given me the clue. What a great close-up shot of the clover.
ReplyDeleteThe succulent is what we call Hen & Chickens I think.
Your garden is a small slice of paradise Carole - you are doing a great job of keeping it up.
Hugs

Soooo magnificent photos, stunning ... a photo is more beautiful than the other,
ReplyDeletemy compliments for perfect shots.
Love greetings, Karin
Beautiful photos of the succulents and vases. I don't know their name but have them in my garden. In Holland people grow them on their tile roofs. The put a handful of clay on the roof then the succulent on top. The plants survive the winters because of all the moisture I guess. xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteI would have said hen and chicks, too. Another name is house leeks, I think, but I don't know where I got that from...
ReplyDeleteIf that is what they are, wait for the flowers! They are incredible!!
I have never seen clover that close up before!
