My potted Resina Calendula flower has opened this week, standing tall with a bright yellow bloom and another bud growing beside; the plant likes the warmth of sunlight followed by a little water each night. #ResinaCalendula #CalendulaOfficinalis #Calendula #PotMarigold #Herb #Flower #Gardening #PlantBiology #Biology
The first bloom of the season for a Euphoria rose arrived today after several days of rain. This rose shifts the color of its petals from white to yellow with pink accents. #Rose #Euphoria #Flower #Spring2025 #Spring #Gardening #PlantBiology #Biology
Spring has sprung in Virginia as some warmer days have brought buds and flower blooms that are surviving the cold nights. My first bloom of the new year is a yellow daffodil opening in the orange glow of the setting sun.
