Ready for Their Close-Ups

 

My exposure to the outside was rather limited this last weekend.  Our summer heat has arrived and I need to get used to the idea of 100+ temperatures before venturing out in the heat.  That's when the photo archives come in handy.  I pulled out three floral close-ups to share.  This first one of a gerbera daisy is almost as bright as the sun is.

This African Lily grows at the front of my complex and it blooms all year long.  I think the blooms look so exotic.

This one is a cluster of blooms sitting on top of a barrel cactus.  Barrel cacti bloom in the spring but I've seen blooms showing up well into summer.

  2. I love them all, but the African lily is especially unusual. I'm not sure I've ever seen one of those before. I wonder if we could grow them here?
