Some of the coolest flowers EVER have once again decided to pop-up & start blooming in my garden. These “Bears Britches” have such great “towers” of purple flowers… and the dark green leaves have such great shapes too! Always a treat when these favorites make their annual appearance!

More raindrops on these pretty pink hydrangea blooms. Also loving the little tiny “yellow” flowers poking out that haven’t had a chance to turn pink yet!

Not quite sure what these are… but they’re beautiful in my neighbor’s garden across the street. Spiky small clusters of orange & dark green leaves. I’m hoping that they decide to “migrate” into my garden too!!!

Caught playing in the rain.
Beautiful hydrangeas after a little morning rainfall.

Crazy cool & colorful caladium leaves… when texture, color & pattern collide in Nature!… with a few raindrops!!!

So I can’t claim these lilies as part of my garden, instead they’re just a block down the street. They’re pretty striking… but for some reason I can’t decide if they might be “too busy” or not?! Love the splattering of color… but could it be too much?!

Sure, the iris may be gone now… but no need to worry when all of the asiatic lilies start blooming. Always a welcome addition to the garden. Love the graceful curves of the pistil & stamen!

A new favorite lily that just popped open in my front yard! It’s the first one… and luckily it looks like there will be more to follow!

A few beautiful flowers arranged in a stamped & soda-fired ikebana vase can make a striking floral statement. No need for tons of flowers… this simple arrangement is BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing your floral fun Karen!

Strikingly simple… and my favorite color too!
