In the neighborhood, Snapshots, Whatever Nap-at-noon May 16, 2008 laurahinnj 10 Comments A flower that, like me, likes to close its eyes at mid-day for a nap; most commonly known as Star of Bethlehem.
(Typo alert: Behtlehem.) We have a bunch of them in the yard, but I’ve never noticed they close up at mid-day. Shame on me. I do like my after-lunch power nap (not to be confused with some kind of lazy siesta).
I can’t find them in my New England guide, guess we don’t have them. They sure are pretty. Looks like they grow in the grass like bluets.
Rabbit’s Guy: Sleeping while commenting can be dangerous! Liza: Yeah… that’s the magic hour for me too. Dave: Thanks for spotting that. Lots of people I work with go to their cars for a nap at lunch, but I wouldn’t dare… too afraid I wouldn’t wake up on time. Bobbie: Yeah, I love ’em too, even though the spread like crazy. Sandy: They do grow like bluets, yes. They’re a garden flower, really, and the bulbs find themselves in the most inconvenient places. 😉
Beautiful flowers. I have never seen them before. I prefer a short nap at about 4 PM to keep me going in the evening 😉
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Hmmmm. I like myself a nap around 3pm. But, my those flowers are adorable!

That’s a chuckle–a flower you can emulate.

Why can’t we import the tradition of mid-day siestas? We import everything else!
A favorite of mine!
