Surprise surprise

I think Winter is finally relaxing its sleepy spell over Nature as I see flowers starting to bloom. This includes a rather unique flower that is cropping up from right inside our sun room: that of the Venus fly trap! My very first time to see this plant to bear flowers. This should be interesting.

Another surprise greeted me in the garden. I have practically given up on my broccoli crops because of the worms that appeared almost at the same time as the broccoli sprouted flowers and started gobbling up the greens. I have pulled out the plants and left a handful to fend for themselves... perhaps winter will succeed where I failed with the elimination of the worms.

I think that did it. A lone broccoli had started flowering! Isn't that amazing?
