This time of year----It's all about the flowers, about the flowers

Roadsides now are alive with all manner of flowers and other visitors

It is Lillys now that dominate the roadsides and gardens right now

A little out of my comfort zone, but I attended a music festival At Alpine Lake W. Va. this weekend and got some photos of one of the music groups, the first one is of the two principal members of the group and the second photo is the other 3 members.

Shhh, He does not know the difference. If he wants to think he is a bald Eagle, why not let him? He has so few amusements locked up at the National Aviary.

So I go down to my friend Marsha's Garden to see her red canna but it's buds have not yet opened. Still, many flowers are in bloom



and her special yellow dwarf canna

Spotted these yesterday. They are a good 8" in diameter.

At the gates of the Cemetery, these lovely roses greet all who enter

That one reminds me warmly of a rambling rose my neighbor had when I was little, It grew all over the place , and - that which it could have been jealous of a tea rose for- .. it easily made up for with energy and complexity. ( thanks for reminding me of it )

These appear to be propagated but that are my favorite type of roses. I see them blooming in many out of the way places. Hybrids are beautiful, although they lack much scent, but these are much more interesting and, I think, of much more ancient stock.
