Cool thing #1: never ever found anything this cool at a flea market before.
Five bucks! He's metal of some sort.
I straightened out his bent neck and beak. Now, he just needs a paint job. White and glossy?
Straightened out with Aloe dorotheae:
Cool thing #2: .2" (5 mm) of rain late Friday night.
The plants are rejoicing.
We allergy sufferers are rejoicing as well. Look at what the rain washed out of the air: tons of pollen.
Cool thing #3: Aloe pseudorubroviolacea flowers:
Cool thing #4: New Dahlia, 'Creme de Cassis'. Ooh!
Bonus. Super cool thing. On the Dahlia foliage, a baby Mantis:
Have a super cool Sunday!

Those are very cool. The baby mantis is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Spiky. When I cut down the failing Dodoneas I found multiple Mantis egg cases in the branches and carefully relocated them around the garden. Looks like at least one was successful.
DeleteI like the little metal flamingo just fine the way he is, no pain needed. What a great find!
ReplyDeleteI might just give him the same color, refreshed. He deserves to shine.
DeleteYay for the rain! I stayed up awhile Friday night just listening to it. My rain meter showed 3/8ths of an inch. Enjoy the fresh air this Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI heard it also--like the singing of angels.
DeleteWhat a great find at the flea market, the flamingo is beautiful, I would just give him a polish, his colour is fine. Good that you had some rain and the little mantis is gorgeous.

I tend to like the patina of age (it may have something to do with my own age) so I would leave mr flamingo as is. It says something about babies that even a baby mantis is cute as a button.
