I will get this going...hope to see lots of pretty pictures here as usual.  Please post what you can...anything goes and I don't care if they are too big or too small.

A couple of containers.....




There is a high school dance group that is doing the flamingo thing in your yard as a fundraiser...this is what our son woke up to Monday morning...lol



++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is Sunshine Daydream Helianthus...We LOVE it!  I got it from Auntcon years ago and have it several places in our yard.  This is quite a large bush...almost 5 ' tall


++++++++++++++++++++++

Please share with us what is beautiful in your world...flowers, family, nature, skies, landscape....anything goes here!!  Charlene

I'm going out in the yard for a while.  Just wanted to let you know I saw this  & pretty pictures as always.

I'll be back later.

Charlene, got a giggle about your son's flock of flamingos! 😊

This rose is one of my daughter in law's Laurie's successes. At a neighbourhood greenhouse they had some roses that had seen better days & were going to be pitched. She took them home & voila!

Charlene I plan to move and have my helianthus in front of the heliopsis to hide the bottom part of the heliopsis, I have the Y.S. in front of the heliopsis now with the helianthus in front of the Y.S. which has grown so much you can't see the Y.S. anymore. Lol at Cory's yard.

Angela that yellow rose is what my rose bush used to produce but not this year  .

I still haven't checked out uploading my pics in my camera to another site yet.

Swallowtail on Mexican Sunflower. So glad I planted these flowers. No Monarchs yet.

Gladiola love the soft colors

Rose

Don't know why it's all messed up but hope everyone can figure it out.

Dahlia I love the color of the foliage

Think I have figured out how to get a pic on here but is way too large.  Charlene none of my pics in TP can be resized.  I'll keep working at it. 

Well that apparently didn't work. 




Success at last.  However if I want to show pics I already have in TP I am going to have to delete and resize them as I can find no way to do those that are already in there.  It's a start at least.   Oh by the way, this is a pic  of the painted desert on a cloudy day.

Another thought I have is unless I plan on taking pics to have printed out, which I do a lot because I am an "unofficial" picture taker for a company that does car shows and I have to print out pics for him on occasion,  therefore I have my camera set at a very high resolution, guess I'll have to reset it for e-mail, message board etc. for everyday use and try to reset it when I need to take pics for him, or else get a 2nd camera,  naaaaaaa too expensive for that.  :)

This is a giant swallowtail....on perennial sunflowers...

Flowers makes as so happy, just love to see all the beauties growing to all of you out there...Char, those hanging baskets are huge. Lovely soft Glad's color. Gorgeous scenery pic.  So pretty yellow rose (Kathy, maybe checking out online more about your rose will help, hope you remember its name)..
Succulents growing in pots outside a restaurant in the Avila Beach Pier..

My mil's hardy hibiscus.  This is the size of a luncheaon plate.



Swallowtail on phlox at mil's.

Great pictures everyone.

I have to resize photos before posting so may just have to post one at a time.

The  hanging basket of geraniums is one of my hummingbirds favorites.

This White Delphinium was one of my favorites.

[Kathy_SD]

Marnee, I LOVE that delphinium. I really like delphiniums and white is my favorite flower color (and clothing color).
