It's all about wonder

We saw the new version of “Alice in Wonderland,” the other day (with J. Depp), and it was entertaining, but there’s so much more to wonder! We can take a stroll through the yard or in a mall, a pet shelter, or visit a friend and wonder about many things. The yard most often fills me with much wonder.
I was wondering, for instance, why I could not grow hollyhocks from seed (you know those glamorous packages promise so much). This year, I wondered if I might have more success with “seedlings.” TA-DA!
Then, I wondered about the little critters that enjoy the yard as much as I do, can you see him?
I had been wondering about my cereus that I thought I lost to the Freeze this past winter… but they are peeking through. Of course, I already rescued two more plants from a nursery and was wondering if I would have a bloom this year. I repotted them into planters, and…
Now, I’m wondering how long it will take to flower, and yes, I am up to photographing that night bloomer at 3 a.m. again!!!
Enough wondering for today? Before I wander off, let me introduce you to Domino and Chunk. Domino is my new puppy (the black one). The brothers first vet visit, and Chunk remains under the custodial care of my daughter and her family. %>

Thanks everybody! Dylandog, I think the insect is a grasshopper... Hywel, my plan with the cereus is to try and graft one of the holiday cacti into the top of one (saw it in an old gardening mag. from world war II era).
