Flirty Aloe
A daylily spike (my beautiful Hemerocallis 'Apple Tart' is blooming early) fell over in the recent winds and got lodged in an aloe. Today, a flower opened on that spike, and it looked to me like the aloe was wearing a blossom behind it's ear, like a pretty Hawaiian hula dancer.
The growing season is in full swing! It snuck up on me ... but I know winter is gone when I have to spend as much time in the garden as I can every day, so that I don't miss things like this come-hither aloe and it's fetching flower. Is this obsession? I guess it would be if it were interfering with my job. Thank goodness it is my job.

Oh, I completely see the Hula dancer metaphor. Reminds me of my Hula girl on the wall in my living room!
The daylily flower made the tough aloe look flirty and feminine - I'm glad you saw it, too ... I was thinking maybe I was being too far out.
