A blog about books, music, movies and more…
I learned about Flower Friday from Lorilin@Bugbugbooks last month and have been having a lot of fun sharing some flower pics every Friday.
This week’s flower is the Calibrachoa. This is a picture of one of my hanging baskets from this summer. Our Mourning Doves love to lay their eggs and raise their young in these hanging baskets.

I love these! They remind me of petunias but they don’t tend to get as spindly. I love that your doves lay eggs in yours! We have doves, but I don’t know where their eggs are! 🙂

They are in the petunia family I believe, but you don’t have to deadhead them. Super easy to grow from seed too! The best part is when the babies are born and you can get close up photos. I’ll share some soon! 💖 Hope all is well with you, friend! 😉

Wow! That looks like a real Easter basket! Doves are so…um…peaceful. Mourning doves have a cool song. I’ve never seen their eggs.

They are such neat birds and I love that they stay all winter. They lay eggs in my hanging baskets every year. I’ll do a post on them soon! 😉

You are welcome. I can’t believe the season is winding down. Anything good for winter you are growing?

I know! It went so fast and it was snowing yesterday. We don’t grow in the winter because we are a zone 4 and the greenhouse isn’t heated at this point. I’d love to one day though! 💙🎃

I actually love it! Like you, I don’t like the heat and I welcome fall and winter, but
I do miss the fresh crops. 😉💕❄

Thanks, Noriko. Luckily, the mom is what alerts me. Otherwise, I’d water right over the top of them. She barely leaves the basket. Only
when we have to water and come close. 💖

Beautiful ‘Mother Nature’! So sweet to think those little eggs will be little birdies soon. I wonder if there’s a special relationship between the doves and this particular flower. Amazing! 🍁

I wonder too because it always seems to be the calibrachoa that they nest in. 🙂
