TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ 20 Pretty Pink Plus

Enlarge and count the bees...



Hakea laurina, the pincushion hakea in our park.



Amaryllis belladonna, sometimes called Naked Ladies,
flower in the autumn before their leaves appear. These
are in our mountain garden.



Fresh from the farm garden on a summer's day of an
other year. To enjoy the Sweet Peas, click to enlarge.

Thank you Luiz Santilli Jr. and your Team for all the work you do

    I love the name of the first photo: pincushion, which really resembles one. That was a fruitful harvest of your beautiful roses. Have a nice week!

    Gorgeous flowers! Am I right to see peonies among the roses in the bottom photo? The flower in the first photo must be very sweet, for I count 5 bees!

    How fun with all those bees on the same flower! Really fighting for the nectar on that one!

    Lovely flower arrangements also! Your garden must be wonderful, with so many beatiful flowers!

    The bees certainly seem to love the pincushion...I think I prefer the Amaryllis myself :)
    I also love your cheerful indoors-shot.

    Thank you for visiting - what wonderful photography that does justice to the flowers! Do sweet peas do particularly well down there, I wonder.

    Your pink blossoms are beautiful indeed. I don't think I've ever seen so many amaryllis blossoms in a single place before. Thanks for checking out my purples at Sacred Ruminations and my yellows at Happily Retired Gal earlier today.
    Hugs and blessings,
