A morning glory flower, waiting for its time in the sun.

Calla lily, being all elegant and such.
Bloom
This rose bush has been blooming like crazy since last week. Maybe all the banana peels I’ve been burying out in the garden have made a difference. I had a macro adapter on the lens when I shot this, and I also used a lomo filter in Photoshop.
Callistemon
My bottlebrush tree came from a cutting from my grandfather’s bottlebrush tree many years ago. It has traveled with me through 5 different moves, but now is happily growing in the ground. If I ever move again I’ll take a cutting with me.
Spring is Busting Out All Over
I am ridiculously excited that this bottlebrush plant is starting to bloom. This isn’t the best photo, but it does show the process of the stamen unfurling from the petals of the flower. It’s fascinating how they’re packed so tightly into a little knot within the flower bud, then eventually totally straighten out.
Daisy at Dusk
This daisy is so obnoxiously vivid, your eye can’t help but be drawn to it when viewing the garden. It’s actually more orange than it looks here, but I took the photo at dusk, and the light was getting dim.
Flower Power
Shortly before midnight I realized I hadn’t touched my camera at all today, but fortunately I had snapped a few flower photos with the cell phone earlier. It was too windy to do much out in the garden, so I took refuge in the greenhouse and checked in on the occupants waiting to be planted.
Waiting
Spring time is two steps forward, one step back in regards to the weather. We get teased with a warm day, then a storm hits. I want to start moving these seedlings into the garden, but the ground is still cold, so we wait..
