    Hi Denise, I really like the quote. Gorgeous photos of these beautiful flowers. They are all lovely, but your closeup of the Mexican sunflower 🌻 💛 steals the show. Those tiny flowers inside the large outer flower....WOW!!! A real eye opener. Thank 😊 you so much, dear friend 🧡

    The Boat Orchid is amazing! I had never seen or heard of one. And the spiderwort...what an ugly name for such a pretty flower.

    I have spider wort thanks to previous owners of this house. It's mostly purple butthere is some pink that tries to grow next to the house that Dan keeps spraying to kill. It doesn't want to die! Garden Club is the 16th when I'll share your poem.

    Beautiful blooms, Denise, and a great quote too. I'm picking the Boat Orchid as my favorite but it was not easy to choose.
