The Flower Pot

I love to take photographs of flowers and I have a photographic library full of them. As much as I love flowers, especially wildflowers, I am notoriously bad at growing them. I plan to post shots of cultivars and wildflowers in a wide range of colors and from a wide range of places.

This is probably my favorite flower...we had them in our yard in south Florida, but I know they grow this far north, too, 'cause I've seen them in Daytona Beach.

Super shot!

I like the looks of these flowers. The only flower that comes close to looking like this as the Canna Lily at an early stage in its flowering.
