Today's Flowers



. . . was yesterday's flower.


Our Birds of Paradise (we have several growing wildly in our house named Heaven) would always start hissing when it pops out!




Nope, it is not the bees buzzing because we rarely have bees.
I think bees prefer sweet flowers like roses or carnations
which we do not have in our house Heaven.
I guess only wild flowers like orchids grow in our place
because the delicate flowers are afraid of dogs like us.


When the Birds of Paradise start opening up like this . . .



. . . me and my little brother Sweepy would ran like crazy!
It is not because we love to watch the flower come out.
We love to stay near the plant because when the flower comes out . . .




. . . the roots rejuvenates and we love to chew it
and the people in Heaven would holler at us . . .




. . . but the people in Heaven are not always around
to check on us at all hours . . . and we really can not help ourselves
especially when we are just by ourselves!


So now we do not have this variety of the Birds of Paradise
because when we chewed the stem and roots
the flowers died and became just a memory. . .
so this flower is not really today . . . but yesterday's flower!


But there are lots of beautiful flowers today in this site.
Check it out!
