Fun with Flowers
I have been practicing taking close-up pictures of my flowers. Want to see?




Echinacea Purpurea, or Purple Coneflower. This is a hardy native perennial.





Butterflies and bees love these flowers.





Cleome, or Spider Flower. This is a self-seeding annual.


Well, what do you know? The deer seem to have missed eating these Asiatic lilies. Darned deer.


Buddleia Davidii, or Butterfly Bush. These herbaceous perennial bushes die back to the ground in colder climates.








Dill weed in bloom above Canna leaves.


And more Echinacea in bloom.
