She said...something that starts with a J. Then I remembered your blog for today and got my answer! The blossoms were falling onto the very green grass and some sort of yellow blooming flower. My thought...what great colors for a quilt! Thanks for sharing your knowledge even in flowers and such!

I just love the jacarandas, agapanthus, bougainvilla. Someone mentioned that jacarandas are from Brazil -- where people speak Portuguese. That's why you pronounce the "j" instead of it being silent, like so many Spanish names in the West. But we don't say "Uh-oh, maybe it will go away" to rain! This afternoon, we got an unexpected shower, hurray! Your show on The Quilt Life was great!CarolBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774006992965789171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-63359267415726597812014-05-21T07:39:03.658-04:002014-05-21T07:39:03.658-04:00I too photographed a floor this past Saturday...th...I too photographed a floor this past Saturday...the Catholic School has a wonderful 9 patch arrangement!

Thank you. And thank you for sharing the Quilt Show video-it was fabulous. You have been such an encouragement to me even though I've never met you.

Enjoy your stay in the sunshine.

All inspire quilts - purples, greens and blues in octagons (I willingly accepted hexies cuz you do so many of them but with the comments, I went up and counted sides!), squares and lozenges???

Bougainvillea have 3 inch spikes on them but the Bambino variety is spike less (a small shrub). We have all those plants here in Australia and I love them. Autumn here though so a while to wait for the blooms :) Happy travels Bonnie.

They are awesome. I am partial to purple and green. Nothing quite like them. My son and his family live in Phoenix and they don't see the attraction either. I like the bougainvillea too, but my DIL hates them. Something about thorns?? Gotta take the bad with the beautiful!<br />grammajudybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562284172505849145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48300298186733446092014-05-20T19:02:20.263-04:002014-05-20T19:02:20.263-04:00Love the bougainvillea!
