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.

Nominated as the state flower of Alabama in 1927, but it was rejected in favor of the Camellia.

Known as a companion plant, as evidenced by the bug in this shot.
