Double Double 2sDay

Here is my take of a double double. If you are addicted to Tim's coffee, this isn't what you think it is.
The coreopsis are in bloom and while out snipping off the spent blooms over the weekend I came across not one, but two double flowers.

Just perfect for 2sDay. 2 stems each with 2 blooms. And they were both on the same clump of flowers.

Nature never fails to amaze me.

If you are a non-Canadian visitor and wondering what Tim's is, I'll explain. Tim's aka Tim Horton's is a donut/coffee shop found on almost every other street corner around town. A double double is a coffee with 2 creams and 2 sugars. I know this, not because I'm one of those addicted to their coffee, but because others tell me. In fact I must be one of the few Canadians that don't drink coffee ... not just Tim's but any coffee.

The more you look, the more you see. Take time to enjoy the garden today.

  2. My daughter found a double headed dandelion flower this year and we thought that was really special, she has a knack for finding stuff like that. Your photo is something I'm going to show her when she gets out of bed.

  3. Well, meet another non-coffee drinker, Linda! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. We prefer tea anytime. :-) I love the double coreopsis blooms - so pretty! We are having a few hot days here so I'm enjoying it! I love heat and sun. Have a good week! Pamela (the tea drinker)
