Mum's Flowers

Earlier, I wrote a long letter to my dear Jhaniel, and I mentioned that I'd been planning a post on some flower pictures for well over a month. After I finished the letter, I felt a little guilty about that post, and decided to actually do it. And I added a few other pictures taken since. By the way, they're not just Mum's flowers... Tink seems to think she owns them all. Wonder what it'll take to convince her that they belong to all of us.

Actually, this is in our shared perennial bed. Such lovely colours... This plant always makes me think of Katrina. Don't know why, but it's so pretty.

I don't remember what type of flower this is, but it's right next to my King's Crown (which is huge by now.)

Our ornamental strawberries are also in bloom right now. They brighten everything up with their brilliant pinks.

I love apple blossoms. This picture was taken a while ago, because I've been meaning to post about them for nearly a month.

Here are pink apple blossoms. I can't wait until there are actually apples on them. But in Alaska, that may take a while.

After a good rain, the apple trees freshened up and put forth more flowers. And I must admit that I'm really attracted to the sweet blooms.

And this is back to our perennials. They look just blue in this picture, but they're more of a violet blue than this. It's actually quite tall too, but you can't really tell here.
