A gray Friday

It's been drizzling all morning and downpours are expected tonight.

So it's a good day to show off our front garden’s dazzling spring Clivia blooms. They started blooming early this year since it’s been so warm, but unfortunately they last only a short time.

Today’s rain gives them an extra special sparkle.

I know Spring is here when the clivia is in bloom

My favorite time of the year is when the clivia is blooming. The blooms are in full force right now especially after yesterday's downpour.

We don't have much of a front yard - in fact we hardly have any yard at all - and most of it is in the shade, so clivia is the perfect plant for us. I just wish the colorful blossoms lasted longer than a few weeks in early Spring.

Check out the succulents too
