I’m always fascinated by the different stages of budding, flowering and seeding. I think this stage of my canna lilies is beautiful––both the subtle pastel greens and rose and the nubby seed receptacles that look like one of those soft rubber nubby squeeze balls they sell as kids’ toys or relaxing aids for adults.

I love every stage of the canna lily, from the spears before the flowers have unfurled, to the individual blooms popping out of the spears to flower clusters.

The cannas are at their very best right now and I took dozens of shots of them yesterday, but this is my favorite. Hopefully they weren’t all battered by tonight’s wind and rain.
Canna Lilies
I actually found this photo while hunting for a fern picture. Guess this qualifies as both.

Spotted Iris with Visitor
I didn’t even see the visitor in this photo until I started cropping. Can you see it?
