Fun Photos

 Flowers probably make you think of spring, but in this part of Texas, we go from winter all the way into summer within a week's time, usually, so I think of summer.  These are some flowers I've seen recently that I'm in love with.  They are so beautiful!

Dutch Asiatic Lily (I looked it up to be sure!)

These are so pretty in person that they seem fake. I bought them for my mom on Mother's Day from,
of all places, Kroger.  I believe it is a Gerbera Daisy, but it also shares similarities with some Chrysanthemums.  Experts?  What say you?

This flower is a magnolia blossom from the tree in the back yard of my
childhood home taken approximately one week ago.

While this wasn't wordless, I'm linking up with Wordless Wednesday and Image-in-ing where you will find a variety of photography.

Heads or Tails

Please visit the homepage of Heads or Tails, and don't forget to visit our lovely hostess, Skittles.

This week's topic is Heads: Flower.

A specific flower came into my mind when I read the topic. The most stunning flower I know is the stargazer lily. I love its beauty, its fragrance, its daintiness, the tone that it sets. Calla lilies come close, but stargazers are, hands down, my favorites. They are a hybrid of other lilies, so they have only been around since the latter part of the 20th century.

Family: Liliaceae (lil-ee-AY-see-ay)

Genus: Lilium (LIL-ee-um)

The ones I like best have white edges, a dark pink center, and hot pink dots. Most stargazer lilies have a spotted pattern, a curved shape, and a soft texture. I love them best because of their abundant fragrance. They represent innocence and purity.

Here is a haiku I wrote for the prompt "flower."

Flower that I love,
Blooming delicately sweet,
Till we meet again.
