First, can anyone tell me what this flower is? The past several weeks I have noticed what I thought was a weed taking over our arboretum. It looked like a weed. Then this week these beautiful red flowers popped out of them. They are gorgeous!
I love spring and this spring has proven to be one of the most beautiful. Even the cacti are blooming!
Now I have a confession to make. My dad loved flowers. We have many, many videos of flowers from him. And even when we went to Disney World, we didn't have video of Mickey or Goofy. Nope. We had video of all the beautiful flowers there. I didn't understand it at the time.
But now, I see a little of my dad peeking through. I have come to LOVE flowers. And I LOVE taking pictures of them and boring people with my pictures of flowers.
I even had my DH out in the rain today, picking out a beautiful pink rosebush for me for our yard. He loves me and he loves gardening. I just love looking at the garden and telling him where things should go.
Speaking of rosebushes, here are some red and pink roses I saw at the arboretum today:
Here is a pink rose, very full:
And a pink bud:
And now, how about a full pink rose and a bud, together!
I just love spring! And Easter is the best part of spring!
Now later, when I post about my allergies, remind me of all of these flowers! Achoo!
Have a happy, hoppy Easter!

Beautiful photos Donna - happy Easter to you.

Gorgeous flowers, I cant wait for mine to come into bloom now too.
Ooo gorgeous flower pics. The top one looks a bit like a Chrysanthemum but with those seed heads I think they could be a rather weird but wonderful variety of poppy. :0)
The flowers are so very very nice! I love watching flowers bloom and having them around, they just don't do well for me! Thanks so much for sharing.
Happy Easter Donna and family.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful flowers. Both my Grandmother and my Dad grew amazing flowers and the pictures brouht back some really fond memories of the time I speht digging in the dirt with them.
Have a wonderful Easter!
Beautiful flowers!
I believe the unknown flowers are some memeber of the dianthus or carnation family. The leaves are the giveaway. Do they have a scent?
Love all your cactus flowers!! I only have the yellow ones and they won't be blooming for another two months! Wow your's are simply gorgeous. I HAVE to find some of those red ones. :)
I too love taking photos of my flowers. I hope to have some soon. Maybe by mid-May. :)
