Flower Medley



The Marigold, Zinnia and Godetia flowers in bloom.

I was in the yard this afternoon looking at the flowers. The Godetias are in full bloom now. These flowers are also called "Good Bye to the Spring". We are close to the summer equinox now. Indeed the days are long. The tomato and cucumber plants are soaking in all the sun they can and growing rapidly.

While I was watching the flowers a humming bird came barely 2 feet and was trying to find nectar in one of the flowers while I watched it hover over the flower. It is the closest I have been to a humming bird. Cool !
