This time of year is amazing for wild flowers in my area. A tapestry of purples, whites, oranges, blues & yellows are scattered throughout the fields near my home. Of all the wild flowers around, I love Queen Anne’s Lace & Woodland-edge Sunflowers & Chicory. Yesterday when I stopped to photograph these on the edge […]

I’ve never met a lily that I did not love. Never!  Outside of oriental & Asiatic lilies, calla lilies are my favorite. Especially large white calla lilies.

When my poppies are in bloom I get so excited. I don’t know what it is about them but they make feel like a kid. I wish that they bloomed all summer but that’s not the case, so I will enjoy them for the week or so that the will be around.

I planted violas in one of my gardens last year & the bloomed throughout the summer.  To my surprise, this lonely yellow fellow greeted me today while I was weeding. What a nice bright surprise. Coincidentally, it’s my grandmother’s birthday; we called her Mommie.  Everyone called her Mommie. Her kids, grand kids & people in […]

Some of the best things in life are pink; like my favorite Egyptian cotton socks, cotton candy, strawberry ice cream & dogwood flowers.
