Just A Few Flowers ...




































































































I know this may be picture 'overload" for a post .. but I actually took way too many pictures this week and feel overwhelmed by them all. most are on a dull wet day so the colours aren't as vibrant as they look in real life. In any case .. just a load of pictures post today ?

No need to apologise :) These are all lovely photos and I enjoyed each of them. I really like the plant with the orange flowers - never seen that one before.

Hi Aiyana .. thanks ! .. some days I'm just not sure what is going to end up here ? : )

Thanks Chey .. we are having more rain days this year than we have for 4 or even more years .. a good summer for the rain barrel ! LOL

Hey Darlene .. how's it going over there ? .. thanks for stopping by for my lazy post ? haha

Amy .. are you talking about the butterfly weed ? Asclepias tuberosa ? http://www.perennials.com/seeplant.html?item=1.080.050 ..it is a zone 4 "native" type plant ..you are a lower zone ? so that is maybe why you haven't had it ?

Hi Cindee .. Miss Emma was full of naughtiness last night and this morning .. the water spray bottle came out .. squirting a naughty cat with water usually stops her in her tracks to think about what she is doing ? LOL

Sheila hi there .. I'm afraid today's overload will be house cleaning .. yuck ! but a good thing to do on a rain day ? get it out of the way ? LOL

Photo overload is totally my cup of tea. I love it and I wouldn't mind browsing through many, many more. It has brought colour even to my hot, dull, humid day. And I can't help but notice the magic of drops on the Smokebush. Both the Golden and the Purple one. There's something special about their foliage and raindrops seem to reflect that hidden magic best. It was actually thanks to your lovely photos of the Golden variety that I saw on your blog recently that made me venture and finally get a tiny specimen of me own. And surprisingly, it was quite hard to find one. Enjoy your colorful magic Joy!

I am so bowled over by all that beauty, I may never recover. Those are all absolutely beautiful. You are as good with a camera as you are with flowers. Take a bow!

Eve.. thank you so much ! You have me in awe of fresh figs now with you wonderful post on your site .. I have to taste one VERY soon ! LOL
Your little cat girl looks like a sweetie pie : )
Thanks for stopping by my blog !

Hi Violet .. I really was overwhelmed by all the pictures I took .. I took more this morning but haven't downloaded them yet. It has been one of those days ..
Yes ! smoke bush trees are wonderful for water droplets .. I'm so glad you were able to find 'Golden Spirit" ! If you plant it near Royal Purple you are truly going to enjoy how they compliment each other : )

What beautiful photographs! New to your blog, and really, a picture's worth a thousand words! The pics bring us right into your garden, I'm curious as to what type of camera you use. Great post.

Lovely Joy! You have some flowering plants that are past their bloom here and then some that are blooming here now! You must have this perfect growing climate...it all looks wonderful.
