So many great pictures! My favorites are of the hidden katydid on the coneflower, and the first one of the lily.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that lily lovely! It came from the Blackberry Bend house planted by former tenant. And those coneflowers are the same kind we saw blooming so profusely in your area. This is my first year for them and I really like them. The hidden katydid picture is one of my favorites too.
DeleteMy Blackberry Lilies are the freckless type.They are just too floppy for me.I have that purple Duranta,and I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy purple duranta is planted next to the white one so the two intertwine. I wish I could say I did that intentionally but like so many of my plant placement choices, it's the result of chance more than a well thought out plan.
DeleteMy Blackberry Lilies are the freck-less type.They are just too floppy for me.Love the Duranta.i have one,and it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos! not only do you have beautiful flowers, but clearly the photography skill to capture their beauty
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, Mike. I like few things more than being outside with my camera with time to wander about taking picture of everyday wonders.
