| burning bush plant |
This is a popular plant in the area, it is rather boring until it flames in the fall. I just discovered that it is poisonous and invasive.
It seems it wasn't that long ago that I was being invited to 50th birthday parties. Well, yesterday we received an invitation to a 60th birthday party. The truth is, I hope we will be around to enjoy the 70th birthday party invitations, life is a gift after all.
The plant is very pretty. My invitations are now getting more for funerals than marriages....Life marches on! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteoh Valerie, yes life does march on.
DeleteThat's a colorful plant. I love colors. I am 71 so you should be able to get to 70, too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours on this plant!

ReplyDeletebeautiful colour!!!.. so life is.. celebrate every year
ReplyDeleteFall is beautiful with all it's colors! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Christine. Life is a gift. I'd love to be around to celebrate a lot of these milestones!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! I dont had idea was poisonous!!
ReplyDeletelife is most certainly a gift that few truly take full advantage of...
ReplyDeleteHi Christine :) I never saw that plant before, I'm glad to know it's poisonous though. It's very pretty. And yes, life is such a gift! Live it to the fullest!
ReplyDeleteWe had a plant similar to that when we lived in Santa Barbara. Beautiful, but beware!!!
ReplyDeleteI use to think that too when I was invited to those parties, but now my children are in their 50's and at 76 I get invited to 80 and 90 Birthday...HaHaHa. I'm sure you will be around for a lot more. My dearest will celebrate 80 in December. Live, laugh, dance and pray..that's my motto.
aww Wanda, thanks for sharing your wonderful perspective!
Deletethere are so many plants and flowers that are toxic to some degree but we tend to think they are ok because we see them in a lot of gardens. i love rhododendron, but they are very very bad for dogs so ours had to go sine sky loved to chew the branches
ReplyDeletelove the pink and the parties. Here's to lots more of both.
ReplyDeleteThat plant is such a great colour.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all the birthday celebrations that come your way.
All the best Jan
I love ours. It's down by the road, a barrier against the fence. Way too much traffic here. It's not so much invasive, as it's a bush and doesn't spread all that much.
ReplyDeleteYup, birthdays. Hubby is 67, he has 10 years max with his cancer. we enjoy each day.
Oh that's so beautiful! I hope you have a wonderful time at the parties...
ReplyDeleteWe had those in Illinois. I thought they were so pretty. Poisonous? Sigh...
