Medical Transcription Lunch Break

Written by admin on August 9th, 2008

Garden sight-seeing on lunch break from my medical transcription job.  Yes, the day is half over!  Doesn’t it go by fast?  See?  I can do this.  Yes, I can.

Isn’t he cute?  Sort of? Just a little bit? He’s sitting on some tansy that looks so ragged each year, it’ll be gone or moved next year.  Hopefully.

A huge praying mantis…

looks up at me.  As if about to jump.  Whoa.  I’ll back up.  You just stay put!  Before I scream and break something climbing running down out of this terraced flower bed.

Here is another shot of the unknown plant, with its pretty yellow blooms that have just appeared.  I had a comment from Vanillalotus that it appears to be Cassia alata or Senna alata.  Vanillalotus, I would love your opinion now that it is blooming.

We now return to our previously scheduled programming:  medical transcription.

Thinking of redoing my sewing/craft desk,

and of new plants,

and of redoing some of my website work,

and of going shopping for “new” old postcards,

and of two new shower curtains.  In white…

and so much more.  Spray painting stuff, clothes shopping at GW Boutique…

So long.

Lynn

    Now that I see the blooms I see what you mean. I did a quick search and I believe it is a senna obtusifolia. Search for that and see if that is your plant. I came to this conclusion because of the 1. the shape of the leaves, 2. Your flowers seem to be pointing down, and 3. The stem isn’t yellow. I hope that is the right one. Sorry for confusing you the first time, atleast I got senna/cassia right.

    By the way I’m a seed addict. I love seeds and seedlings. Hope your unknown plant is a known plant now.

    Oh, you didn’t confuse things. I am just so grateful, because it is indeed Senna obtusifolia! I have been wondering for SO long what this plant is. Now I now. It even has those seed pods in the fall, which I think are so cool!

    Thanks so much!

    Good morning Lynn :)

    I just finished catching up with you. Your new finds are wonderful!

    I always want to go out in the garden after I readd your blog, but alas today we are going school shopping…. ugh.

    I showed Annie the bugs on this post. She really enjoyed it :)

    Have a beautiful Sunday!
    hugs,

    Thanks, Rue!! I am glad to think that I make anyone want to be in their garden. :)

    I wish I had more time to spend in mine. Life is SO busy.

    Thank you for stopping by. You know I’ll be heading your way, too. ;)
