More fun with my new camera.

This flower is no bigger than your thumb print.

Anyone know what kind of flower this is? I've got 3 different colors popping up in my garden, that I never planted.

Hey, this picture looks pretty good on the internet.

That's a nice shot. Over a year ago we were posting flower pics here. I have some awesome rose shots from my back yard and angels trumpets too.

The angels trumpets are cool they bloom at night. I'll have to re-post a couple of the shots...

I can't remember the name of it but when I was a kid my Grandma grew them and she would pick one and pull of the pedals and say " see the little man with a water can" the little center has a bud that looks like a head and body.

Great color!

Looks like a pansy to me!

Rick, you're just kiddin' around right?

Just in case you are not, here's what the 'net says about these flowers:

http://www.gardenersnet.com/flower/viola.htm 

Violas are an early blooming plant. These perennials are usually grown as an annual. So much so, that most people believe they are annuals. They are early bloomers in late spring to early summer. Then, shrivel in the mid summer heat.

They are native to the southern hemisphere. Easy to grow, you will often find them growing in the wild Violas in their native regions. Pansies, and Violas are all part of a closely related family.

Small plants produce a wealth of dainty. clear-faced, fragrant blooms in jewel-like shades; yellow, apricot, blue, scarlet, white and violet. Viola is generally more winter-hardy than the larger-flowered pansy.

Viola are popular, easy, and fun to grow. Fill an area or entire bed with Viola for a striking spring effect! They also are great in windowsills and containers.
