Today's Flowers ~ Aug 9, 2009

"Today's Flowers"





~~Go here to find other flowers around the world!~~

~~~

I hope you all have flowers in your life! :) What a gloomy world it would be without flowers blooming!



This is a water plant we have growing in a small water garden at our place! It also grows wild in lakes and canals throughout our state! I love these delicate blooms!




This is a problem plant in Florida waterways (and other states )- but I think it's beautiful!

  2. It's lovely Junie!
    I enlarged it to see the detail on the bloom. I love the color combo of purple, yellow, and blue.
    If they have problems on the waterways I assume it is somewhat evasive. It is beautiful.

  9. It certainly would be a gloomy world if we didn't have flowers in it. Your water plant is lovely, I have never seen it before. Thanks for sharing.
