more flower pics

Well, it's the weekend and I 'm just taking it easy, spending time with someone I care for deeply and relaxing. The weather yesterday was crazy hot again... 30C .. let's just say, that's hot! We are expecting much of the same today. Who says it's cold up north?

Well, I thought I'd show you some of my flowers as they come and go quickly.


Here is a very pretty iris that only blooms for a week to disappear for another year. It's called "Steppin' Out" and cleary, is dressed to the 9's!



As I was leaving to do groceries on Friday, I was just locking the door when out of the corner of my eye, I saw this butterfly fluttering amid my lilacs. I immediately went to get my camera... and took a few shots. It was a bit difficult, the darn flutterby just wouldn't stand still for a pose.



I also have roses. Now, I know I told you I'm not a roses type of girl... but that's not entirely true. I'm not crazy about the formal type of roses, you know the ones that come in a box of 12...sure they are pretty..butI prefer the more lush ones that actually smell spicy and are much more feminine. Here is one that's just a biddy, buddy baby!:



but will turn out to be as glorious as this one:



and finally a pink lobelia, which I think has such a cool shape!
