Flowers and more flowers!

I have some photos from garden flowers

and

flowers in the woods

today

for you!!

Actually,

this first photo

is a thimbleberry bush where the flowers have gone now and the very raw (not ripe yet) thimbleberrries are forming:

Here is what the blossom looked like before the berries form:

A close up of my Iris in my garden...I loved this variety..I call in my "rusty Iris".

I have no idea of its formal name:

Another shot of one:

The whole flower:

These musk mallows grow all over here in the woods and beside the highway.

We took some white ones and some pink ones and transplanted them into my garden.

They do well there and are a great "filler" when the others are between blooming:

A bee on some blossoms in the woods:

My "almost white" Iris in my garden.

(They are all gone now, sigh):

You can be sure I will have all of these

on my screensaver

when the howling snow

comes outside

my window

in just a few months!!!

(I have to keep my sanity SOMEHOW then, right?)
