This was so much fun.... I just grabbed the camera and headed out to the yard. We have only lived here a short period of time so these are all wild flowers or wierd pod lookin thingies off the bushes. Oh and yea.. I found a plant Dr. Bud was supposedly trying to surprise me with out behind the chicken house. I will be askin him about that later. Not that he's in trouble 
just not used to seeing them outside.

Beautiful Photos Everyone.
Hello Mrs.Babba:wink:..these first pics I am dedicating to you for starting this thread. I love mother nature and we all need to take the time to "stop and smell the roses" and not just use it in a coined phrase. It sure does keep me humbled to stop and see the beauty all around us.
here are a few shots of my Princess Di Roses. They start off a white/light yellow/pink and then turn mostly pink. The process takes about a week after the first bloom appears.
little spidey hanging with the Princess
a few shots at the butterfly museum.
kinda sad isn't it....it's like it knows
I guess not all butterflies are cut out to be happy campers.....I think I was catching a little attitude from this wild child...well excuse me butterfly:wink:
A drive to the country in the Spring is always a beautiful eye opener.
BlueBonnets
Hello my little buttercup & Red blankets & assorted background colors
I just couldn't leave without just a little extra comedy relief so ya gotta meet Shorty...the nilla wafer eating Donkey......We call him shorty not because...he's short.....but because......he's a little short on brains
and he a he..a.....he...a ...he awe ....does love Nilla Wafers
love to all.

Now I want a camera.
Can I have a report on the catmint. How much of it do cats consume, is it hard to propogate in their presense - I have a cat, but 3 more have adopted me as well so chances are they'll find it and use it - should I hide it and establish to ....... size?

WOW annaC, justin, great photos! i dont have any good flowers besides tomatoes atm
High Mrs.Babba Lots of amazing photos posted in this thread I thought I'd add a couple of flowers that had caught my eye while I was out in the garden
A Water Lilly from my pond
And one of my favourite flowers, the crazy passion fruit
If it's a really small plant and your cat can get at it, it will probably tear it apart. You should probably cover it with wire or netting until it has established itself in the ground, once it has got to a decent size it will be virtually impossible for them to kill. They can lay in it and chew on it all day and it will still come back next year :smile:
Grow on

Beautiful pics from everyone!
I was fortunate enough to live in a nice house with a wonderful garden for many years, where I could grow tons of different plants all year round thanks to the tropical weather, sadly I am now living in an appartment but trying to have a colorful balcony!
This rose was gifted to me as a cutting by a friend, it smells real sweet, doesn't smell like "regular" roses, there's something citrus-like in it! You could make a perfume just with this one!
This is what we call a "paradise bird" down here, unfortunately the pic was taken a couple days too late, the flower pictured is already starting to die, but I find it very nice nontheless.
Cheers everyone!
