Today has been a lazy Sunday. Not too lazy though. I cooked and also did some work around the house. Covid and the viral fever have ensured that I layoff strenuous work of any kind for now, but soon I will start my morning walks again, taking it real slow at first. As a beginning, today I went to the roof top garden in the evening. There were flowers blooming and I decided I’d take it easy and share some pictures on the blog today.





Talking of taking it easy, something comes to mind.
One day a neighbour, who also takes his morning walks when I do, introduced himself to me. I am E.C. So and So, he said, so my name is easy to remember. See what he did there? Unfortunately I didn’t, not at the time. In my defence, I wasn’t at my alert best just then as I was busy switching off my audio book Before talking to him. I nodded pleasantly in acknowledgement of his introduction.
Later I went back home and repeated to the L&M the conversation with Mr. E.C So and then it hit me. E.C. and easy! Omg, how could I not have seen it! I bet the man thought I was someone too dumb to get his word play. Sigh. Never mind. Next time I will do better 😉

Gorgeous flowers!
Indeed they are, Mick!
Fresh and beautiful, trying to smell it
Glad you like them. The pink and red ones have a mild and sweet aroma 🙂
Thanks
Have you tried sucking out the nectar from the ixora stem? My parents’ house used to have two large ixoras that bloomed like nobody’s business, and poor grandma had trouble keeping us kids from plucking them for the nectar. Now I have an ixora that does not bloom at all. Part of the reason is that I live in a protected woods area with monkeys, that won’t let any dang thing bloom. Sigh.
Yes!!! Nectar is the exact reason they are loved by most butterflies and also sunbirds. Sorry to hear you have monkey trouble in your area.
And yeah. I’ve been victim of the dull-mind-syndrome too.
Ahh, same pinch! 😉
Nice post and pic
Thank you 🙂
What a beautiful array of flowers!
Aren’t they too! 🙂 I am happy to sit among them and read.
