Swamped and Prickly

Yesterday was hard-UTI worse not better so Bill took me to urgent care.

Since my kidneys were hurting, I wasn't going to fool around!

This is a sweet flower in the lily family called by the esteemed name, Swamp Lily!

It lasts for days and is natural to this area!

Not a Native plant but a a beauty has been this Crown of Thorns!

It has been blooming for months!

 While the stalk has some serious thorns, the foliage and flowers look innocuous!

Here's to modern medicine and feeling less thorny soon!
