Back in my old home state for my Dads 80th and spotted these whilst escaping family to climb.

Ah, lovely, lovely! A beautiful way to end this day. It is still quite light outside, so I will slip on my eye mask, remember all these beautiful flower images, and fall asleep with flowers dancing in my mind/
Thank you Mouse, Tolman_Paul, Hooblie, Edge, Don C, and more from MFM. What a garden of beauty!
Thank you all.

Ahhhh lovely morning roses and cacti.
The wild roses which are rampant in Fairybanks are not in bloom quite yet, but budding. I have two little cacti out in the sun room, apparently abandoned by one of the renters, and I am giving them tiny sips of water, hoping they will live and flourish.
Thank you for the wonderful images to begin the day. It is the day to clean flower beds and gather downfall and dead branches, all of which will go to the Mountain Dragon Fire Pit for a future fire. It promises to be another heavenly sunny day up here. I went for a walk yesterday, and not one mosquito bit me. I am luxuriating in the low mosquito count, knowing the mosquitoes will soon be out in greater numbers. But for now, I am enjoying the walks.
Thank you for the beautiful morning bouquet!

Craig and Stahlbro - I'd love to get my hands on all those cactus. If you want to get close-ups of the flowers and isolate them with a black background, like my pics above, just use a very small aperture (f/22 or smaller) and a flash.

Where Do Artificial (Fake) Flowers Go?
To the fallen, first of all,
To those whose memory we keep this way.
So many of them who heard the call
Never thought they'd live to die that day.

God bless you, the honored dead.
