Flower Friday
The Big Piney Woods Cats started something called Flower Friday so we thought that we would indulge Mom and show some of her garden flowers. These are some photos she took a couple of days ago early in the morning before she went to work. It had rained the night before.
This is beebalm (Monarda didyma) with Shasta daisy. Beebalm is native to the area and is very attractive to hummingbirds. It is in the mint family and that sometimes means trouble, but Mom doesn't find it nearly as aggressive as the purple-pink wild bergamot (M. fistulosa) that she also has.
Mom likes vines a lot and the clematis by the deck is still blooming fairly well. It started blooming in April.
The daylily (Hemerocallis) Stella d'Oro shone brightly in the early morning light.Happy Flower Friday!

Hey! I wanna flower too! I'm gonna tell my mom.
Wow your flowers are blooming much sooner than our mommy's. So far we've only gotten to destroy some blooms on an early-blooming lilly. Our day lillies and clematis haven't really started to bloom yet!
Fank you fer stopping by our bloggie supporting our cause - yer good friends!
Thanks so much for joining our Flower Friday. Momma loves fowlers and loves seeing pichers. She has a clematis just like yours only it is just budded out, here in the Big Piney Woods.

Ooooh those flowers are pretty. Your mommie has a beautifical garden!!
happy Flower Friday
Do weeds count as flowers? How about ginormous out of control pansies? That's about all we have in our house. Thanks for talking to Kaze for me, unfortunately she's not backing down. At all. Though I did give her some good whaps last night.

Daisies! I love daisies! When we lived in Virginia we had a bunch of those pretty Stella d'Oro daylily flowers. They are pretty.
Those sure are lovely flowers - so colorful!
Mum says she likes the flowers. Her daylilies haven't started to bloom yet.
WOW, yer place is so colurful!!! We gotta stop by soon!
Your flowers are furry purrty. We don't have many yet. The Honeysuckle and Azaleas have finished, but the roses have started blooming. We haf Stargazer lilies wiv lots of buds, but no flowers yet.We like yer Daylilies speshully.
Those are some pretty flowers. My dad and mom have the best of intentions with the plantin' part of flowers, but seem to forget the "maintenance" part, so most of 'em die. Perhaps I could take a photo of my cousin's (DaisyMae Maus) sunflowers when they bloom?
