As we all confront the possibility that Covid-19 could kill us all, or that Trump could be re-elected as President of the United States, I just wanted to post something pretty. These are some flowers that I found in my neighborhood. I have no idea what they are. But they're even prettier today than they were two days ago when I took this picture while out cycling. Can you send a pretty picture or two to make us feel happy?

I loved your post. Interesting similarity. I don´t know how to download pictures but I can put a blossom from Pixabay. My own plants are still small, but they are growing.

@TheHorse They are marigolds. They are so hardy that I have 4 daughters of the mothers plants that Claudia gave me for Christmas with buds. I have a lot of very small plants that I planted later on. I hope they bloom in winter or at least stay alive to do it in spring.

@amadeo You'll have to consult with a European like @Maluse to get the spelling of bougainvillea right. I am utterly clueless. But we have a lot of bougainvillea in California.

Quacker at McAlester’s.  Photo taken by and the property of FourWalls.
I saw a duck while I was getting my afternoon walk in. He was hanging around the McAlester’s, hoping for a handout.

@MALUSE The weird of those pansies is that I did not buy them and they grew in a vase where I planted dill seeds. Surely the seeds of past year yellow pansies fell in the vase, but why did they change color?

It looks to me like a geranium or pelargonium. It would be a variegated geranium or pelargonium because of the variegated leaves. Here is a melaleuca (paperbark) in full bloom.

It is geranium. Only issue is Pony was still drowsy when he took that picture...so it came out like something from cameras with lower resolution.
