What your name?

Leaves dropped to the yard due to a strong gusty wind. Don't know a name for this tree but usually in spring it has white small petal flowers but never saw it bears a little cherry like berry fruits. Seem like a very common tree around here, so better check it name. A little surprise of the day!

10 baby peppers 14+flowers - counting.


Aug 6: My neighbor told me that this is "hot pepper." Was wondering why it kind of staying in that smaller round shape - his turned red and he had a bite, and found out it's really "hot." So I got a kind warning.

Alstroemeria cultivar / Peruvian Lily

This is not from my garden. Just want to post it here as we love this flower and just found out what it is called.
Love this flower, and am using its picture on the background of the title section here.


Alstroemeria (play /ˌælstrɨˈmɪəriə/syn. Alstremeria),[1] commonly called the Peruvian Lilyor Lily of the Incas, is a South American genus of about 120 species of flowering plants. Almost all of the species are restricted to one of two distinct centers of diversity, one in central Chile, the other in eastern Brazil. Species of Alstroemeria from Chile are winter-growing plants while those of Brazil are summer-growing. All are long-lived perennials except A. (Taltaliagraminea, a diminutive annual from the Atacama Desert of Chile.
