Not sure what kind of butterfly, but it is lovely!

I don't know this one either.

This guy is such a poser, and too cool!!!!!

Another beauty I don't know what is.

Same little guy.

My little hummer.

I ordered this last fall and have been waiting since then to see the bloom. It is called Lord Baltimore.

Here is another canna I have blooming.

This is a lily that bloomed.

I'm carried away with taking pictures. I was taking them the other evening as the sun was setting and got this one. There is just something about the colors. I'm really pleased with this picture. I hope you all enjoy it. ;~)

This is another one that just started blooming. I'm not sure what the name of it is. It is pretty though.

This is mauna loa. It is new to me and I'm real happy with it also.

This one is Fairy Tale Pink. I was trying to get the inside of the flower. There is a green glowy center in there. I'm not sure if it will show up.

More blooms again!

These are some of my favorite photos of my blooms. I love taking the photos as much as I like the flowers. Not all photos are just flowers, some are bugs.

This was the first daylily I had to bloom.

I just got this one.

I really did not realize the spider was in there until I got the photo on the computer.

Don't know what it is, but I like it.

Ming Toy! This one is my favorite of all so far.

This was too good of a photo op to pass up.

This is a water iris not sure of name.

This is Gideon

Gideon is a really good dog. He minds well, he patrols the yard to run off anything in the yard that should not be there (mostly birds) He walks around with me to look at flowers. Not much of a gardener though.

This is my dog Jeze.

Jeze is a Min Pin. She is really spoiled. She likes to garden with me. When I pull out weeds and throw them behind me she leaps in the air to catch them, and then kills them. LOL

One of the first things I had to bloom was the Lil Lantern Columbine. There was 1 tulip and a small group of minnow daffodils before this. They just weren't quite as exciting as these. My Cherry and Crabapple trees bloomed and the Iris's started and then we had a serious frost and brought everything to a halt.
I can't figure out how to get a picture in the blog so here is a link to my Picasa Web Albums if anyone wants to see pictures.
