I'm so happy you posted my all time favorite picture of one of your flowers. The white azalea with the hole chewed in it, pollen smeared across it and that bug. I recall a discussion we had about that bug. Brings back a lot of memories.

Your other pictures are also superb, and Willy and Lyle, beautiful!

This daylily is probably my favorite flower and it's in bloom right now.
Image

There is a massive tie for second place. So in alphabetical order:

Bee Balm, a native wildflower.
Image

Bull Thistle, an obnoxious weed.
Image

Butterfly Weed, not a weed despite the name. The Monarch butterflies like it better than milkweed.
Image

Gaillardia, also known as Indian Blanket.
Image

Ox-Eye Daisy, a native wildflower.
Image

Purple Coneflower, a domestic version of the native prairie flower.
Image

And one of my favorite shots, fescue, a field grass.
Image

I've got lots of others, but those are my favorites.

aaahhh, the beauty of a dandelion, often overlooked just because it's a weed.

:kpix I love all the fantastic varieties of flowers everyone posted.

Here are a few more from around my house.

Pink Azalea
Image

Dogwood
Image

Unknown (some kind of orchid maybe?)
Image

Unknown (some kind of large lily perhaps?)
Image

Anyone know what that last one is? I took the pic early in the morning with the dew still on it. It grows 3'-4' tall and has large trumpet shaped blooms that go around in a circle. They grow from large bulbs that spread easily.
