Mothers' Day Flowers

This lovely white rose was from my son and his fiancee:
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Colorful tulips nodded here and there in my mom's yard on Mothers' Day:

YYYYYYYYYYY
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Below is a bright yellow "gerbera", a flower variety I'd not seen before. Its nicely showy; I wonder how long it blooms?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

The rain over the weekend will keep farmers in our area out of the fields today. Hopefully, tomorrow, corn planting can resume. Husband just spoke to the guy who will plant our corn; he's thinking maybe Thursday or Friday will work for him to be at our place to plant, weather permitting.

I like the webdings translation. That's funny. I need to 'translate' a few things. :)

Beautiful flowers.

I love the white rose...my favorite. I hope your mothers day was wonderful.

I am wondering how asleep my mind would be if I didn't read your blog! For example, I just looked up gerbera, and learned a lot. I've seen these flowers, but never paid any attention. Now I know a little about them. My brain cells thank you:)

Hi, Treasia, Mary, Egghead, caution!

Thank you for the kind words, and I hope you all had a lovely Mothers' Day, too!

Yes, I had never heard of gerbera, either.....their bloom is similar to a big daisy, but much lower to the ground.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you had a good Mother's Day.

BTW, I like the church window in the post below.

"Gerbera daisies," as they're called around here, are quite treasured in north Georgia. They come in a variety of colors; I like the pink ones best.

Great photographs, once again.
