Red Rover Red Rover!!!

   Well, that's what I think of when the color RED becomes a theme! I have come across red all over  tangent... Tomatoes, well not so much as a lick of red, but soon they will appear..
    I have flowers already in my front yard containers...   When I think of red , I think of tomatoes...


Tomatoes, on the way!!!

    My petunias that are hangin' with the tomatoes are in a rosy mood too


Very happy happy...



The peppers are all ready to flower also, how sweet it is when everything seem to happy HUH? 





Hummingbirds love to hang around, they have a favorite plant too, (besides) the feeder...

Penta Lanceolata Butterfly Red 
A.K.A. Egyptian Star Cluster
One of the many hummingbird visitors...

         This is a very feisty female, that is very protective of who is allowed around that feeder...
 Red Like the Red Hot Red heads Temper


The Latin Name for Bougainvillea is BOUGAINVILLEA
         
             My Arch Nemesis... Bougainvillea...

    The Hummingbirds find this thorny, vengeful, spiteful bush a simple refuge to hang-out in..

   As gorgeous as this plant is I really wish that I thought twice about plating this where I did...


     It has takin over and I am so aggravated about that... I have to constantly trim this vengeful thing. I say that because it is almost like a vampire it, Vant's to drink your Blood... 
                    
              jus' kidding, Not yours MINE! ha-ha-ha! I don't have an Audrey II you know "Feed me Seymour, Feed me!".


    But it certainly is a runner up.. I don't think that it likes to be trimmed, because it keeps coming back more than ever... (I know)!!!

    Shazamm is having a constant show of flowers, which is to say, I have no complaints... Beautiful huh?


When I think of Red, I also think of my favorite food, SALSA.... What is in salsa?
JalapeƱos...

 I have a mess of these coming and I can't wait to pluck each and every one of these fiery boogers..

 Speaking of boogers.... NO! NO!
                                      What are you think of?
                                                 Not those kinds... eww! ?


   These!, that took forever to spring forth the greenness of their yumminess! How exciting I finally I get green beans, Pole beans whatever you want to name them... Hooray!!!

My BHG's Saga,  

   Bird house Gourds... The aphids are still rampant and nothing is working, I haven't a clue of what to do, but oh well!

     I do have the most cooliest GOURDS EVER  ....








   Now if they do what I want them to do... I will have a success on my hands!!!

   A GOTCHA MOMENT!!!
       
         Here is a picture to leave you  with and very excited about!
                      Most of you may think, why is she so excited?


   I know Your thinking the picture is like the illusive Bigfoot in a fuzzy thicket of bushes and trees,
But NO!

                      A CARDINAL !!!

      In this picture is a beautiful bird that rarely shows its self around these parts and I miss seeing them, I used to live in Florida and I had very happy little family that lived in the backyard there...

I do not get to have that privilege here in the lower part of the desert...  So Excited Heck YA!!!

                   RED Yes! To sum up the theme of the RED... Perfect!
