Hard to imagine something this shockingly PINK and fabulous would find a way to bloom in my chaotic wreck of a garden.
It really really did!

No, seriously.
Where’d you take this?

Life is certainly beautiful everywhere.
Italy, shmitaly…..I like your backyard, too….though I am going to be running wild in Rome myself in a few weeks.
Happy summer, Mary Ann!

Mary Ann, this is a beautiful sight! Since you say your garden is a “wreck” I suppose this flower was just determined to show off and it sure did. Fabulous! More proof of what a bit of determination can do! Pat at birdnestontheground

Beautiful! I think you’ve answered this question before, but one more time, please. What kind of lens do you use for closeups like this? A macro or just the macro feature on your camera?
Judy Wise says
Stunning! And you have sunshine. You are blessed. Everything here is cold and shivering.
stephanie says
Oh yeah…your wreck of a garden….
LOOK AT THIS beauty! The details of the pistil and stamen…is that correct? I don’t know, those long white pollen holding stems….lovely!
Kate says
Gorgeous! Enjoy it while it’s there. Sit and sip cold drinks with it. I also have a chaotic wreck of a garden, but have decided that is Mother Nature’s way, so why try and improve on it?

That is beautiful. I wish I could get plants to bloom. I can grow any green plant though. LOL
