macro monday 30.7.12


Earlier this summer the mister and I decided to create a small 'meadow'
in an area of the back yard where it is difficult to cut grass 
or to grow any other kind of garden

We took seeds that had been given to us by many friends, 
from their gardens,
in sympathy cards for my father,
and given out at a memorial service 
and planted them in a loosely organized way 

Although I recognize many of the flowers, 
these are two that I thought folks at Macro Monday just might be able to identify...





Please take a moment to check out some of the awesome shots from other contributors at

and have an awesome Monday!

  4. Lovely colors you have and a great tribute. I don't know what the pink one is, but the yellow reminds me of brown-eyed susans.

  5. Wonderful flowers. I don't know what the first flower is although it does remind me somewhat of a Day Lily. I'm thinking the other flower is a member of the Blanket Flower family.
    Your pictures of them are lovely.
