Mom's Flowers

Mom has many different kinds of flowers all year long. Some flowers will only come in the spring and others only in the summer and others, like roses, will blossom both spring and summer. Here are some of the summer flowers. Above are some holly-hocks. Mom has many different colors of holly-hocks.
And some blue morning glory. She also has some hot pink morning glory which I tried to take a picture of...but the photo was blurry and the blossom wasn't yet opened all the way and just didn't look very nice.
And here are some four o'clocks. They grow very quickly, very large bush like plants and have beautiful blossoms.
These are California poppies...vibrant oranges! As I'm typing this post I'm surpised that I know some of the names of the flowers. I really never paid attention to the names of flowers until recently. Now it seems more difficult for me to remember them...but apparently some of the names are sticking.
And this is a side view of one of Mom's flower gardens that didn't turn out as nice as I would have liked. Oh well, got to keep practicing with my camera.

Seeing her flowers brought me back to my time at Temple Square! Really...God has such beautiful things on earth, and with skilled gardeners they are just divine!
