Rainy morning blooms

14 years ago

We had a glorious rain that drizzled all night and is still coming down. I thought it an excellent day to play with my camera. I need lessons *looks over shoulder for dig photo savvy son* !!!

Bit of Blue

Tequila Mockingbird

Our Friend Sally -- This one didn't capture well. She really glows quite a bit more green and peach. Best of all, the scapes and buds are many many on this second year plant.

Lava Flow

Tee hee! Couldn't resist throwing in one from my climbing Tropicana.

The flowers look so pretty with the raindrops on them! It's still looking rainy here this morning.

Rainy Morning at the Farm

The Farm is just gorgeous and I love everything I see! I really want to try the camassia with the tulips - what a beautiful look. I think I have a garden design where I used the white camassia with a wine colored tulip. I might give that a try. The clematis is a beauty, too. Are certain clems more tasty to the rabbits? Should I be protecting mine? I'll second the request for Phoebe in the garden shots....can't get enough of her :) Saucy

Wow, that first one really catches the eye! I also especially like Spacecoast Night Vision with that deep color and ruffling. Glad you are getting some rain. We are getting rain too today and thankfully no more snow....LOL. Temps are supposed to go up into the 90's in the next few days so my garden should really get going. Celeste

Looks like you're coming right along with the camera work. Love your rainy day pics. That rose looks good enough to eat!
It's raining here today also....a slow drizzle. I did manage to get the dead heading done and see what new ones were blooming today, although, I got a bit wet in doing so. :) I haven't taken the camera out...don't want to get it wet. If it stops long enough, I'll run out and do some photos with rain drops too.
Thanks for the show.

Very nice pictures! It drizzled here off and on all day until school let out. It's been raining hard since then so had to finally come inside.

Lava Flow was my first bloom in the garden, just like he says. It bloomed here May 22, just after Stella.
