sustainable spirituality

Today I saw a new flower in the garden. It was a japanese iris. It was growing beneath the solar panel. This is also the home for strawberries and day lillys. Another interesting adventure involved the witnessing of a bee working the lupine flowers. The lupin are of the pea family and feature a flower that resembles a slipper. Inside the slipper are the pollen laden stamen. When the bee land on the flower its weight pushes down the the slipper section revealing the stamen nectar areas.. Check out the movie

The sun was shining bright today and i ventured into the garden. The lupine are very tall and in full bloom. As soon as the temperature gets warmer the bees will arrive and begin to harvest pollen and nector. The garden is also getting very lush. Notice the bright blue camus flowers. finally the living is living again the water is cleansing itself in less than a week. I added a butter cup plant that loves a watery nutrient rich environment.
