Today's Flowers/White Azaleas

Our white azaleas are blooming. I love the beauty of these white flowers but they only last a few days before they start turning brown. For that reason I prefer the other colors.

The bumble bees are still clinging to what's left of my yellow butterfly bush. As you can see it looks pretty bad but there must be something good remaining there for the bee.
I grew up in a south that comes alive with azaleas and dogwoods in the spring. The blooming period lasts for about two weeks and then it's over. This is a different kind of azalea that was developed by Buddy Lee of Independence, Louisiana. It's called the Encore Azalea and it blooms at several different times during the year. This one has been blooming for at least 2 months.

I call this very common lily a native day lily. I've also heard it called a ditch lily because many are seen growing in ditches around America.

Marigolds are fairly easy to grow and they come back every year. The bees like them too! There is no reason why one picture has a white frame except that I forgot I had framed it.

This has got to be one of the world's ugliest flowers. I have no idea what they are called. I first saw them where I grew up in South Alabama. They grow very low on the ground and they are well...just plain ugly. The other kids always told me "do not touch that flower or you will wet the bed!" I NEVER EVER touched one. I DID NOT want to wet the bed!
I have also seen these flowers growing in Georgia. Last week I found this bunch growing under my blackberry bushes. They are the tallest I've ever seen. Probably 6-8 inches tall and I think these are actually pretty. Can you guess what I did???? Yes, I touched one. Did I wet the bed?? Well......
NO I DIDN'T!!! Now I wonder why kids tell such tales as this. Has anyone else ever heard that these flowers will make you wet the bed?

This is known to me as Turk's Cap although it has several other names. It's native to Texas and Mexico. If it wasn't easy to grow it wouldn't be in my yard!

This looks very similar to a dandelion but I really don't think it is so I'll just call it a Georgia wildflower. Visit Luiz to sign Mr. Linky and see more beautiful flowers from around the world.
