Squash Flower

Today I’m sharing some happy orange flowers from my garden. There’s all shades of orange, from almost yellow, to reddish orange – I love them all!

My friend Terri host a blog challenge called The flower Hour every week. I don’t always find the time to participate, but I always enjoy seeing the entries to this challenge. I’m linking today’s gratitude challenge to her flower hour. Thank you Terri for this week’s lovely prompt.

What are you grateful for today?

  1. Squash plants have flowers? Cool. I’m grateful for today and for the drive to look at an electric bike I am considering buying down on Sunset Road. The Urtopia carbon fibre bikes are so nice and super light!

      1. You can eat the flowers? You are always showing me new things, Maria! 😊

        I can’t tell you much about the bike other than I can’t pick it up until I get back home from the upcoming Michigan trip. I ordered a rack for the back of the bike and a bag to put the camera and snacks in while out and about.

        They had to order the items which is delaying the delivery. Something to look forward to on my return! Its a carbon fiber framed bike with a 350 watt motor that peaks at 700 watts. My test ride on what will be my bike was wonderful, so much nicer than the Pedego.

        The motor is absolutely silent unlike the Pedego motor that is so ridiculously loud. It’s a class two bike as it has a throttle. I need a throttle.

        It’s called Cream White, a nice color and has tall, narrow tires for street riding, the kind of tires I really should have had in the first place. The ride is so quiet and smooth!
