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.

Bottle Brush. I have no idea what this is called. The 'bristles' were very soft.

This is my Macro Flowers Saturday contribution. Not a true macro, but I really love these and they are about all that is blooming right now. Not a true flower either, this is the fruit of the tree.

Going to Seed

 
*****
I planted these in a pot in spring. The only thing that came up was leaves. Finally, at the end of October I got a couple of flowers. Nothing in my garden ever seems to bloom when it should or ever. 
My thumb must be more than black.Whatever it is, it's certainly not green.

It is some sort of sunflower.

Field of Flowers

 
*****
A field of wildflowers somewhere in north Georgia or North Carolina. 
I do know that we were on our way to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. 
It was a breath-taking sight and I just wanted to lay down and stay for awhile.
