Great Time In The Flower Garden

What a great weekend! The warm spring days bring forth a plethora of flowers. The iris above and rhododendron below makes one appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world. What visual delights!

























The smells are equally as wonderful. The fragant lobelia below is a treat to the olfactory sense.




















I love to walk through the flowers to see which ones are currently in full bloom. Ok, experts, what is this old fashioned critter below. A trip to Europe for the first correct answer. (Well, it may be just a URL to a virtual website of Europe!)
