When a star falls to earth it becomes a water lily
June 15, 2014
Or so it seems to me. Happy Bloom Day, and happy Father’s Day to all you wonderful dads!
I’m joining other bloggers today for the Bloom Day meme. Visit May Dreams Gardens to see what’s blooming in other gardens around the world on this date. And don’t forget to join me tomorrow for Foliage Follow-Up!

This is a beautiful thought. Your ‘star’ is quite beautiful. Happy GBBD.
It’s happy as a clam in all that cool water during the hot summer, Lisa. 😉 —Pam
Happy Bloom Day Pam. So happy I have a water garden and that you shared your wonderful water lilies.
I’m happy you have one too, Jenny, so that I could share my never-ending supply of pond-plant divisions with you. —Pam
What a lovely photo and lovely sentiment! Happy Bloom Day to you, Pam!
And to you, Rose! —Pam
I love that concept. We’ve had water lilies and water iris blooming all week. Our lilies are hardy and not quite as tropical looking as that lush pink. Mark is building a new garden gate and I am planting and transplanting so nothing got posted for GBBD.
‘Colorado’ is a hardy water lily, Linda. I wonder if you could grow it in your Wisconsin pond? I bet so! —Pam
Such a beautiful photograph and thought. Happy Bloom Day!
And to you, Lee! —Pam
Such a striking beauty – it could certainly be seen as both alien and terrestrial at once. Happy GBBD and Happy Father’s Day!
You always have such a thoughtful way of looking at things, Deb. Thanks for your comment. —Pam
Wonderful! Happy GBBD, Pam!
Thanks, Kris. Hope you’ve had a lovely day in the garden! —Pam
Hope you’er having a great Bloom day. We’re checking out all the beautiful blooms in Florida this bloom day.
Oh, how fun! I bet you’re seeing some tropical beauties. Enjoy your vacation! —Pam
Happy GBBD. Fabulous shot of your fallen star! “Perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.” Eskimo saying. Maybe your fallen stars are an additional reminder.
That’s a lovely thought, Peter. Thanks for sharing! —Pam
Beautiful – both photo and thought!
Pam, I don’t want to buy your book from a retailer. I want to buy an autograohed copy. I like your style.
GBBD is a fun way to meet other garden bloggers. So, hello, you are always welcome in my gardens at Oh, Grow Up.
Hi, Patsy. I’m delighted that you’re interested in my book! I’m racking my brain to think how to autograph one for you. I don’t keep a stock to sell via mail order, although I do offer my books at talks that I do — but that won’t help you since you live far away. I would be delighted to send you a personally signed book plate for your copy though. Would that work? Send me an email; look for the “contact me” link at the top in my bio. —Pam
