More "tame" flowers from the neighborhood 04--30-11

Corky forces me to go out for a walk in the afternoon, so I see many flowers I would not normally see.


It was late in the day - after 5:30pm - when I took this image, so it shows the yellow tone of the setting sun.
The largest of the Amaryllis flowers is larger than my wide spread hand.


A dark pink chrysanthemum makes a cushion in one corner of the flower bed.


Just one bright blue delphinium - they don't last long in the heat and wind.  In the top left are some Lily-of-the-Nile and the top right shows some white iris.   The pink in the background are more delphinium.
Dark, dark red snapdragons and pink delphiniums blooming under a weeping birch tree.  

 
A glorious white iris - wish it was in my yard. 

Isn't he the dearest little dog?  Corky goes home to his parents tomorrow.  I'll miss him.

You must have been a botanist with a dog in a prior life as you sure know the names of all plants and flowers and/or a vet!!! Corky is darling!!! Thanks for the visual feasts, Del!!! XX
