Daylily Leaves

The one saving grace of all this godawful rain is that everything green is growing.

I had about 10 minutes to run out and take some photos, before the second wave started moving in. The red daylily was looking spectacular, all adorned with raindrop diamonds.

I love the way these red daylilies look in the bright sunlight. Not that I’m enjoying the ungodly heat, but it is nice to see the sun once in awhile.

This may also be wood poppy. They’re very similar, and I’m not sure how to tell the difference between the two. It’s coming through the fence from my neighbor’s garden, so I guess you could say it’s a gift from her, too. I’m not sure what to do about it, because it’s really aggressive. So much so that it’s choking out the mint in her garden, which is impressive!

The bottom photo is another Lensbaby 2.0 shot, with the aperture disc removed and +4 macro filter.

My neighbor brought me a baby butterfly bush last week. I put immediately put it in the ground, and it has rewarded me with itty bitty flowers.

Since I did my cemetery visiting and blogging over the weekend, I’m going to post flower photos today. All are Lensbaby shots. And yes, I know fleabane is a weed, but it’s pretty, and I can’t bring myself to pull it from my flower bed.
