Well, folkses, thanks for bearing with me regarding the delayed Treasure Box Wednesday post. I really needed this extra day to get myself together.
And you know, it's very lucky I did. Because this morning's rain afforded a few more photos. Flowers love nothing better than to mug for the camera, and when they're covered in drops of rain, doubly-so. (It's like their own special performance of Flashdance.)
So today's post is mainly designed to let them show their stuff. I've been longing for days where I could look into the backyard and see big beauties like these. Like these Helen Hayes roses...
Each one has different colors, depending on where they are in their lifecycle. I love it.
This red rose just opening speaks of promise...
And these Miss America roses get sassy...
This Joseph's Coat is new to me this year, but I think once it gets established, it will be lovely...
In addition to our friends the roses, the foxglove thought they'd put in an appearance...
There are two kinds here. One Camelot in a purple, and one sort of a pink.
This columbine planted itself in my front yard, and having never seen one quite so red, I've left it where it chose to be...
This Sweet William was another one which planted itself. I love the zingy pink color.
The irises are just about done...
And the nigella are just beginning...
I can think of few greater treasures than these...
Well, maybe just having you stop by today as you did. Thank you!
