Poppies,
poppies, poppies - all sizes and colors, from brilliant dark red
to dainty, light pink. They swayed in the breeze and trembled
as the raindrops hit them.

Some
roses were already blooming too. I loved the delicate shades on
this one.
|
|
|
|
I
believe this odd-shaped plant is colloquially known as a Red Hot
Poker. It always makes me smile.

|
A
little bed of pansies were glorious shades of apricot and peach.
I've never seen any that color before.

Irises
were one of my Mum's favorite flowers and she loved to paint them.
I think of her every time I see an iris.
|
|
|
|
There
were many beautifully colored irises on display today, such as
this boldly hued plant.
|
|
|
|
Some
were looking a little worse for wear because of the rain and wind,
but they still shone out brightly.

Rhododendrons
and clematis climbed colorfully up a trellis. My walk was invigorating
and I was glad I'd made the effort.
