flowers made of butterflies

my very favorite flower, Hydrangea. Alas, the weather didn’t encourage many blooms this year. I suppose that makes these very special. I will dry them…i do so every year. They dry beautifully & look wonderful on my windowsills.

an Alabama farm…really?!

emu, llama, chickens, rooster, sheep…all in a pasture of fall yellow flowers. it felt more like seeing a gathering of Noah’s animals. It was so cool! ~amy

sweeter when wet

my garden this morning after a good washing. September in Alabama is still summer.

oh lily, see how you float?

i think the inside of these waterlilies look like they belong in tropical reefs…i can just picture Nemo hiding inside of one. The Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
