    I love this! For a minute it was summer again. Though sunflowers are my favorite, the coneflower is here. I have never heard of a double one!

    They're beautiful and a welcome sight. It was up to 50 yesterday but there's still lots of snow on the ground and it's supposed to snow today.

    Well taken. I have been having a look at some of my flower photos as I pass them by from time to time. We had a pretty good snowfall yesterday and are expecting more today.

    Thanks for these. We had more snow last night and it's still lightly snowing. I have my list of gardening to dos once our weather warms to gardening temps. I look out at the yard covered with snow and plan in my head too.

    I did enjoy very much -- even though there's no snow here where I am -- but also there are no flowers like these and I love the memories these pictures bring. ! I remember when you used to do a flower sharing opportunity -=- it was one of the first ones I ever joined.
