Beginning to Bloom

I hope you enjoy this close-up view of an Agapanthus, or Lily of the Nile, as it begins to bloom. Notice the blossom with one of its petals beginning to open?

These lovely trumpet-shaped blossoms form a globe-like flower that sits on top of a long stem.

I took this photo in June of this year. We have several of these plants in our yard.

Zarahemla Daylilies

When it turned cloudy on a particular day in May of this year, I grabbed my camera and went outside to take photos of some Daylilies in our yard. These pretty blossoms are from one of our Zarahemla Daylily plants.

Bright Pink Hydrangea

I love the delicate beauty of hydrangeas. Each large flower is in reality a cluster of lovely little flowers.

A Pink Coneflower at Temple Square

While we were vacationing in Utah recently, we went to Temple Square in Salt Lake City. It's such a beautiful and peaceful place. And the gardens there are absolutely gorgeous.

As we were walking around Temple Square, I was taking photos (of course!), and took a picture of this lovely pink coneflower.

The gardens at Temple Square, which are redesigned every six months, include 250 flower beds. Did you know that free one-hour garden tours are given from May through September at Temple Square?

Here are a couple of photos of just a few of these beautiful flower beds.



My hubby was taking photos too. It's a lovely place and I hope that the next time you are in Salt Lake City, you will stop by and visit Temple Square.
