Pausing to remember all those who gave their time to keep us safe ๐Ÿ™Memorial Day weekend. ๐ŸŽ–๏ธ๐Ÿช–๐Ÿซก. Thank you! ๐Ÿช–๐ŸŽ–๏ธ๐Ÿซก
Itโ€™s a cloudy morning here on the coast in San Diego โ˜๏ธ ๐ŸŒซ๏ธ the typical May Grey which will soon become June Gloom ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ๐Ÿซฃ. It is actually very nice because I can leave plants in the sunny spots all day without worrying about harsh rays โ˜€๏ธ โ˜€๏ธ โ˜€๏ธ, until mid-July ๐Ÿคช. In all the fog and grey however, there is a shining star ๐ŸŒŸ todayโ€ฆ the Copper Queen orchid blooms popped open!๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘ Hopefully the pics are not sideways! Have you noticed any fixed glitches? I see the camera/photo library selection is bigger now and easier to select, thatโ€™s good news ๐Ÿ“ฐ!!๐Ÿ™Œ. BUT editing is horrible! I canโ€™t get the cursor to work properly, not all the time but a lot, and especially if an emoji is involved ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ™€. Any wayโ€ฆ. with the long weekend itโ€™s been a little quiet in Gregland ๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿ˜ถ๐Ÿ˜ด. Whatโ€™s popping up in your oasis to brighten your day? ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŒต #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #FloweringPlants #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #TheWateringHole #brunchataudreys
@MariansOasis That orchid is indeed a QUEEN! Wow, so beautiful ๐Ÿคฉ Weโ€™re out of town for the long weekend and will head home midday today, early enough for me to water the oasis before going back to work tomorrow.
@MariansOasis good morning Marian โ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ I am on the coast today too! Just roughly a thousand miles north of you ๐Ÿ˜… your copper queen orchid is beautiful ๐Ÿคฉ I just love the colors. Like if a peach was an orchid โ˜บ๏ธ

Anyhoo, hereโ€™s my view this morning. I can see Haystack Rock from my bed! I might pop by later today with pictures of tide pool creatures and things I find on our walk this morning! Have a lovely day everyone ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ
Your flower is gorgeous!!!! And soooo unique. Different from any Iโ€™ve seen. Sending my current (and first ever) orchid flower, currently blooming for several weeks.
@debbiedo thatโ€™s right, youโ€™re at your 1 plant oasis! ๐Ÿชด Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
@AC73LoveCats congrats on your first orchid!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅณ
@DreamMachine wow Haystack Rock ๐Ÿชจ is awesome!! Itโ€™s huge!!! Yes, do tell what you find in the tide pools. We used to wander the tide pools a lot especially when our daughter was young. Love โ€œโ€ฆif a peach was an orchid โ€œ ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿงก
@AC73LoveCats itโ€™s adorable ๐Ÿฅฐ!! I love yellow greenish flowers. Isnโ€™t it wonderful how long the Phalaenopsis flowers can last!?!
@MariansOasis Yes, I am amazed!!!! This plant plus one other orchid plant were given to me by a friend at work when she left that position. This was at least 2 years ago. This is the first bloom I have had from them.
@DreamMachine Thank you!
Hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day with there love ones in mind
@DreamMachine What an amazing view! And it looks like maybe not rain the entire time! ๐Ÿ™Œ
@MariansOasis

Hello dear Marian and all of our lovely friends โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ’• ๐Ÿ˜Š

I appreciate your heart-felt message about veterans and Memorial Day and hope that our homeless and suffering veterans can receive benefits and the help they need.

We've had a rainy ๐ŸŒง long weekend but it was much needed, not only for Nature, but to wash away the thick coating of yellow pollen off of our cars!

Your flowers ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ’› are soooo beautiful!

We don't have any blossoms or blooms to share with ya'll but good news is that The Tribe is healthy and all growing like crazy!

There's still one-fourth to be repotted and they're waiting as patiently as possibly but every once in a while I'll hear a little peep from Ivy or Pathos saying: "Don't forget us mom! We're starting to feel cramped and also need some new soil full of fresh goodies!"
@DreamMachine

OMG dear Nadia!

You are blessed to have such a magnificent โœจ๏ธ ๐Ÿ’› view!

Haystack Rock...perfectly named.

It looks like you're just steps away from the ocean!

Wishing you and all of your marvelous, zany family a great Memorial Day afternoon ๐Ÿ˜Š
@debbiedo

Have a beautiful ๐Ÿ˜ afternoon.

Your plant family will be so happy to welcome mom home...
@AC73LoveCats

Soft, precious, beautiful orchid!
@HipFeijoa49

Same to you, dear Hunter!
@MariansOasis it IS huge! Itโ€™s really fun watching all the birds that live on it ๐Ÿค— There are tufted puffins, common mure, cormorants, western gulls, black oystercatchers ๐Ÿฆช (although I think they should be called black musselcatchers instead ๐Ÿ˜…) among others. Itโ€™s quite interesting to me that they all have their own real estate areas; like the puffins come back to their burrows on the grassy sloped north side every year ๐Ÿฅน, whereas the cormorants nest on the southern rocky cliff side.

It was absolutely pouring all morning, but itโ€™s clearing out AND low tide is about to happen ๐Ÿ™Œโ›…๏ธ
@debbiedo it was pouring all morning, but I see patches of blue sky just in time for low tide!! ๐Ÿ™Œ phew!! ๐Ÿ˜…
@CutePolypremum thank you dear sweet Joanie ๐Ÿฅฐโœจ

I certainly am. โ˜บ๏ธFeeling Very grateful to my husbandโ€™s parents for having us out here. It looks like the rain is stopping so Iโ€™m hoping to get some good pictures soon. ๐Ÿคž

There is a marvelous driftwood ๐Ÿชต fort someone made on the beach. On my earlier (and very wet ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ) morning walk I had to pop in there for a bit for a brief respite ๐Ÿ˜…

I hope you, your Tribe, and your fabulous family have a wonderful Memorial Day afternoon/evening. ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒบโœจ
Gorgeous, Marian. Absolutely worth the wait. ๐Ÿ˜
@DreamMachine oh now im definitely putting Haystack Rock ๐Ÿชจ as a destination ๐Ÿ™Œ. I LOVE birds ๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿฆœ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฆข๐Ÿง๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿฆ‰ ๐Ÿ˜Š Lots of different birds than I would see here, on a beach will be a fabulous adventure! And a driftwood fort?!? ๐Ÿชต๐Ÿชพ๐Ÿฐ how fun is that!!
@MusicalRedmint thank you Susann, it is worth the wait ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘
@CutePolypremum oh youโ€™ve given me a good visual for today ๐Ÿซฃ! Time to listen to the bebes and do some repotting this afternoon ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿชด
Thatโ€™s so gorgeous! Wow, what a beautiful flower. Gotta love orchids; they are dramatic but worth it to see them flower. Well done and congrats on getting to enjoy it. ๐Ÿฅฐ
