A Spot of Color

 


When I was at the Heard Museum last weekend, I checked out the planters in the courtyard to see if there were any winter blooms.  I found one nasturtium bloom looking very sunny and peeking out from the green leaves around it.

Such a pretty flower.














In another planter, I found this tall bloom full of small white flowers.  

The internet says it's a Candle Larkspur.  It kind of looks like a tall, pillar candle.  

It was pretty chilly (by desert standards) all last week but these flowers seemed to be enjoying the cool weather.

I've planted nasturtiums in my garden and just love them. Their leaves are so pretty, too. I've not seen the candle larkspur. Very eye-catching!

How nice it was to open this post today, Sharon.

I love nasturtiums and the fact they are edible (not that i've ever tried them) is more interesting.

Nasturtiums are one of my favorite flowers. I know that second flower as a Delphinium.
