The Brenda Photo Challenge (5-22-10) Flowers



I Knew I had to get my Flowers photos for today's Challenge but Nothing but one pitiful rose, is blooming in my yard! SO, off I went to the local nursery here in town. There were several young ladies watching me stroll up and down the aisles. When I saw them get busy...Then I'd snap, snap, snap!Hahahaaa....and Yes, I bought some Zinnias (top photo) for my patio just because of GUILT!LOL....SO, now that I have gotten that said, I'm off to see all of Your wonderful shots! Y'all have a Wonderful day or night where Ever you are!
To join in the sight seeing tour of wonderful Flowers, go here.

Love those zinnias. Too early for those in these parts but we have our share of beautiful blooms. I'm early posting cause we're heading up to Vermont tomorrow. Catch up with everyone laters.

Beautiful flower photos Donna. I used older pics on mine because I procrastinated and the it was raining most of the day today!

I love the zinnias.. they are so bright and colorful.. what a great shot! They will be beautiful on your patio! The photos are fabulous especially if you were sniper shooting them on the sly! What kind of camera are you using?

Jeanne said...

Your flower pictures are beautiful! I planted zinnias from seed last year and enjoyed them so much. Wish I would have done that again this year.
Hope you have a great weekend,
Jeanne

I was getting REAL envious until I read the whole post. LOL! Too funny. I hope your flowers start blooming real soon.

Donna said...

Gorgeous! I love the zinnia picture the best - a sea of blooms! Hahaha, you're the crazy lady that stalks the nursery for pictures. I'm the crazy lady that goes in people's yards for pictures. LOL!

I love the variety of colors. So pretty.

Lynn said...

The photos and flowers are awesome. Zinnias are such a cheerful flower.

Hopefully, it is not too late to seed in zinnias amongst my veggies. I read that zinnias attract lady bugs which, in turn, protect plants. I'm giving it a try. Zinnias also attract hummingbirds.

Brenda said...

I love Zinnias too Miz Donna. They're always blazing such cheerful colors! Wonderful pictures my friend!

Hi Donna, I forgot all about the challenge so I went back and did another post. I don't know if I did it right, though...and there is a little red x by my name on my linkie. But my flower post is up now.
