Wierd Plants

Isn't this a wierd blossom? I have no idea what it is but it is blooming in my kitchen and I think it is really strange. It is also in it's own way very beautiful. Look at the vibrant color!
If anyone knows, please let me know. I have a good friend who keeps me supplied with house plants. She has a green thumb deluxe when it comes to the world of botany indoors, but doesn't do much outside. Most of what she gets are rejects from the retail business where she works. They are doomed to be destroyed when they don't sell or are near the state of suicide, so she takes them and nurses them back to health sometimes. This one obviously wanted to live!!! Now below are two of my three tomato plants. The third is camera shy evidently, but after a chilly camping trip this weekend and threats of snow at 7,000 feet which includes us, I had to break down last night and cover them. No snow this morning and my tomatoes live on!!



We were lucky to have mostly beautiful weather, even though it was a little chilly and fall is on the horizon. Both nights were pretty much two dogs nights and for anyone who doesn't know what that means, you don't live where the nights get cold. Our old, but cozy camp trailer has a temperamental heater so we add a dog to the bed, the colder it gets to keep our feet warm. Hopefully, we will get out another time. Bow hunting season is in full swing and there were quite a few of them out sneakin' around in their cammies. They think they are invisible dressed like sticks and dried leaves. Maybe they are to the critters, but the people we camp with saw a moose family as they were coming down to camp Friday night. We had a bachelor group of 3 bucks grazing on our lawn Thursday evening and no matter how often you see them, they are still amazing.
