I love taking pictures of things in my garden. Today wasn’t probably the best day to do it, it was just breezy enough that I found focusing more difficult than usual. We had quite a bit of rain yesterday, and some last night/showers this morning, so the sky was bright and clear with big, puffy clouds, and the flowers were all cleaned and refreshed. Or so I like to tell myself. 😉 I couldn’t cut them ALL and bring them in, there’s only so many places for cut flowers in my house. I definitely need to splurge on a macro lens at some point, that would make these images so much more interesting/easier to take the detail shots of things like the raindrops on rose-leafs.
Begonias are so unique… the bracts look sticky-waxy, but are in reality quite soft.
This color of rose always makes me think of my dear friend in the DC area. Once, years ago, I sent her some roses, and they were orange-russet like this (at least, that’s the color they were supposed to be. I’ll have to ask her if they were or if the florist switched out a different color. LOL).
Big beautiful clouds in a blue sky.
This freesia smells amazing. I have had freesia coming out my ears this spring, just from the five plants (out of eight) I planted last year.
Wow! I love the purple fresia! We have orange and red, and we had white one year, but they don’t bloom a whole lot… 🙁
I don’t know how many we originally planted tho, so maybe we just need more!
Freesia may grow better here than up there, I don’t know. Squirrels ate three of my plants and all my calla lilies, which is sad (they’re tubers, so nice and yummy I’m sure).
