Weird water lilyLast week or so the yellow water lily had a flower. I noticed this week that from the old flower sprouted another flower and several other stems. I'm not sure what is going on here. It almost looks like the old flower is creating a new plant. I need to do some research on how water lilies reproduce. If you click on the picture you can see the details better.

Sunflower and Water lily

Today's sunflower photo does not look much different from yesterday's.


This water lily is a very pale yellow. It is about 8 inches across.


I wanted to show how much the water lily rises out of the water.

We ate the 2 tomatoes last night tossed with some pasta, olive oil, herbs and garlic. The tomatoes were almost completely solid. Very few seeds.

Tomatoes

The first, almost red, tomato of the year. Anna Russian is an oxheart heirloom.


Our fence is about 6 feet high. The Orange Strawberry tomato is over 7 feet high now (in back.) In front is Anna Russian and 3 pepper plants to the left.
Planted on 4/13 from transplants.


I have 2 different Brandywine varieties growing this year. The one in front is OTV (Off The Vine) and in back is Brandywine from Croatia.
Planted on 4/13 from transplants.

There are 4 tomatoes here and a small pepper in front. Starting from the back is Ed's Millennium (4/20), then Caspian Pink(4/20), and 2 Polish Linguisa (5/4).
