small beauties: they’re probably astericae, but that ain’t sayin much

[ A yellow five-petalled flower, bright against a background of medium green foliage. Another flower, and several buds just starting to show yellow, are scattered across the green. ]

Once again it was ‘take pictures of flowers at the behavioral health center’ time, because as y’all have probably noticed it’s been too hot to exist, so I’ve been doing a lot of not existing.

… that’s what dissociation does, right? Right?

ANYWAY.

There were pretty flowers, so I took pictures of pretty flowers.

[ Another part of the bush, with a bunch of faintly yellow buds, just getting ready to open. ]

I don’t know what the plant is, but it’s still making a lot of buds, so should have pretty flowers for a while yet.

[ A close view of a single bloom. One bright petal has had a bite taken out of it. ]

I’m glad. They’re just such a cheerful sight.

Aren't they just?

Why don't you get one of those plant identifier apps? Or would that spoil the joy?

[kellan_the_tabby]

I was going to go & install one of those since you'd reminded me, but it turns out I'd already done that like two months ago & forgotten about it, so apparently the answer is 'brain made of cream cheese'.

You need to relocate that app to the home screen lol
