This cadmium yellow is exquisite. I love the center of this flower.

Western Wall Flower

Wild flowers are lush right now. The summer in the PNW hasn't been too dry and warm, so at higher elevations, the flowers are still blooming. Here is a lovely flower that grows locally.

Wallflower

Cheiranthus cheiri. A lovely yellow flower with clustered buds opening in a luscious spray. Good for the perenial garden.

Pansies

Althought this photo has been altered, I think the color is interesting and not out of the norm. My mother used to tell me a story about the pansy--a lady with beautiful skirts.

Pansy

Blue pansies, black pansies, red pansies. I love the intense color. If you pick the flowers and press them you can use the dried flowers to make pictures for your walls. Sweet summer panises all year round.

Fall plantings of pansies brighten your flower bed and how about some boxes on your steps or patio. I use some iron to keep away the slugs. So pretty and bright.

Sweet, the daisy, reminds me of a vintage tablecloth or a spring field. Easy to grow. Spread them through your perenials for lively accent.

More closeup photography. This one is enhanced to a point of the petals becoming grainy, and yet, the flower is pure and delicate and wonderful to view.

Closeup photography, dark background enhances the soft, velvety pink petals. Sweet smell, a mix of orange and vanilla and peach.
