Some of my followers wanted to see a photo of my dog Pepper.
I have featured her in other posts over the last 16 months on Steemit!
Pepper by the Turks Cap
I know I have featured Turks Cap before, maybe a couple of weeks ago,
but this is the time of year when it is just covered with blooms!
I sure hope some butterflies and maybe even a hummingbird or two will take advantage of these beautiful blooms!
Pepper relaxing in the shade near some of our clover!
Have a Blessed Day!

Sweet pepper and you have very pretty garden too. 💝
Thank you!
Love that last shot. What a nice pose. My intuition tells me that Pepper is female. Am I right? If so, she also seems a bit shy. Again, just my intuition. I'm sure you give Pepper lots of love, and a nice home. Looking at Pepper makes me miss my old dog. Oh well, life's a bitch (no pun intended)...
Yes, Pepper is a very lively rambunctious girl dog! She is five years old and jumps on most everyone that visits our yard, if I don't put her on a leash! I've tried training her not to jump, but she still acts like a puppy!
You have an excellent guardian and an unbeatable company, @violetmed! Pets, especially dogs, and plants are so necessary in a house. I don't think you can complain! Nature lives in communion in your home. Congratulations. Hugs
Yo también tengo un perro que se llama Canela, @violetmed!! Me acompaña para donde yo vaya. Siempre está a mi lado! Es mi amiga. Un abrazo
Canela es un nombre bonita. Es muy bueno que su perro es su amiga! Gracias por ayudarme practicar mi espanol. Un abrazo a tu!
Surely butterflies and hummingbirds will come to your garden, @violetmed!! Although it looks big, your dog looks quiet and good, it doesn't look brave! Duty is still an excellent companion. Thanks for sharing!
I don't know if they are the same, and if not, they are from the same family. Your dog is calm and let the butterflies reach the garden? My dog barks even when he sees a cricket! hahahaha. Greetings, beautiful lady.
She chases squirrels, rabbits and birds that dare to come into our yard, but doesn't seem interested in butterflies, thank goodness!
Dogs are very loving and faithful. They are always there to give us their affection and great affection. They receive us in house since we arrived moving almost all his body of so much happiness when seeing us. Super adorable. Another big hug for everyone.@violetmed But it is that I adore it dear friend to you adorable and loving pepper. Look how he gets relaxed in the shade. It's just that it's divine. Thank you for sharing the photo with all of us dear friend. It is incredibly expectacular the beautiful flowers of the turks CAP in this time of the year. It has an imprecise and vivid color. Pure magic is enchanting flower. Pepper next to the flowers is so tender. Beautiful shots. I hope you visit many butterflies and hummingbirds your beautiful flowers of structure and striking color that stand out for their great beauty. A big hug. Happy day. A great affection on my part for pepper.
Thank you for your lovely reply!
Lovely Pepper and red flowers make her look her best :)
@violetmed,que lindos los sitios que escogió pepper para acostarse y posar para la foto tan maravilloso,saludos
Sí, le encanta esa parte de nuestro jardín donde hay mucha sombra!
Pepper is very photogenic @violetmed and looks very healthy too. I don't think I have seen Turks Cap flowers beforw altbough they look as though they are part of the hibiscus species.
Thank you!
Turks Cap is in the mallow family, along with hibiscus, and if you look at its flowers, you will see the long pistil with its yellow stamens attached, characteristic of mallows, sticking out of the twirled petals. Turk’s Cap petals do not open flat like hibiscus, rose of Sharon and other mallow members. Rather they remain twirled and are reminiscent of a Turk’s turban, hence the common name. Source
I have a dog named pepper too but she is a Yorkie Terrier. Are those flowers a different kind of hibiscus?
This flower in my yard is called Turks Cap. Good question on wondering if it is a kind of hibiscus.

That's quite a comparison. I got confused at first sight.
Pepper is a gorgeous dog and those blooms are so beautiful ~ 💗
Thank you! I'm really hoping for hummingbirds any day now!
You’re welcome! I hope you see them soon! 😊
Good dog. :-)
Pepper looks as if she might like a cookie, or maybe somnething nice and chewy... Bacon?
Haha, she does love her doggie milk bones and doggie chewie sticks!
