Flowers In The Garden (Photo Essay)

My mom has a bunch of beautiful flowers in her multiple gardens. Sweet Pea and I have been having fun going around looking at all the different flowers and smelling them, so I thought I would share some of the beauty with you. These are only a few of the pictures. I will share more with you later. All pictures are taken with a Kodak EasyShare Z740 camera and are unedited.

This bud will open into . . .

this beautiful flower.

This bud will open into . . .

one of these lovely flowers.

I believe this one is a Coneflower.

I think this one is a Portulaca.

This is a mini rosebush bud.

These are mini roses.

I was told this one is a Cosmo.

I'm not sure what these last two are, but I think they are pretty. The first one looks like it might be a mini carnation.

Please forgive me if I have mislabeled some of the flowers, but I did try to get them right. I am definitely not an expert in flowers by any stretch of the imagination, though. Even so, I do hope that you have enjoyed this peak into my mom's garden.

Very gorgeous pictures! A lot of them came out really well. ^_^

Thanks, Sam. I'm really proud of some of these. The two that are blurry I kind-of like, too. First, they don't look blurry on the camera or in the smaller images just when they are enlarged. Second, I like the blurry effect on the Glad bud - I'm not sure exactly why but I think it looks neat.
