The Bounty Of Virginia

I cannot get over how things grow in Virginia: things you want to grow and things you wish would just die. I have seen a spider with a body the size of a quarter. I know they kill other bugs, but a spider that large should have the decency to stay in dark, damp, dank corners.
However, our plants are ecstatic. We never had outdoor potted plants in CO, but here...here every plant has sprouted, flowered, or come back from the dead. This photo is of a soon-to-be cactus flower. I have never seen this plant flower in its 10 years. I will upload the bloom as soon as it happens.

Tomorrow's post ... our new rug (very exciting).
