2. Thanks soothsayer - conditions were just right.

3. Exquisite - it's so beautiful it looks unreal.

That is just purely gorgeous. I kept this up while I was on a potentially difficult phone call to calm my mind. I hope you have this beauty where others can see it too.

4. Thank You So Much lark. I do - it's on Facebook too.

I do not copywrite my photos, so you're welcome to use it anyway you like.

I am very glad my weeds helped with your phone call. I hope the conversation becomes resolved.

5. Funny, i war with our weeds, you turn yours into art. That takes talent!

Can't do yard work for 2 weeks after having arm surgery yesterday, so weeding will have to wait. Hubby will do the fertilizing but he seldom can be motivated to weed and we have 3 large flower beds and a veggie garden. All are in pretty good condition right now and hopefully won't grow too many weeds over the next few weeks while the caladiums start to come in and the hydrangeas take off. Those 2 flower beds have water intensive plants so weeds love them too sigh.

6. Thanks lark. Truth is the weeds tend to take over here too.

That particular one pictured was out in one of the horse pastures where it was allowed to grow as much as it wanted. My wife's flower garden's a different story. Weeds are not welcome there. Perhaps like your husband, weeding is NOT my favorite thing to do . . .

Hope your arm heals well.

7. Beautiful and stunning, however, those are Wildflowers and NOT weeds

And to be precise that looks like bergamot, bee balm, horsemint, oswego tea, the latter inspired by the fragrance of the leaves, which is reminiscent of bergamot orange.

8. Thanks MagickMuffin -- I didn't know. I appreciate the correction. I've amended the title.

9. I grew up thinking everything were weeds until I started learning about them

Lady Bird Johnson actually started the Texas Wildflower Highway beatification program. We have the most loveliest Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrushes, Mexican Blankets, Bee Balm, and many others.

I bought a Texas Wildflower book so I can identify the various flowers growing in my state. It's a passion.


And its about that time of year to travel outside of the Metroplex and take some photos.

I enjoy your work!

10. Lady Bird did some good, sounds like.

When you take photos, will you post some? I'm glad you enjoy my photography — that's why I do it.

[MagickMuffin]

11. Sure I'd be delighted to share some with you and the group

I've never posted any photos here. So, this will be an adventure.


Thanks for asking

[George McGovern]

12. Good Deal MagickMuffin!
