As luck would have it I stepped into the backyard yesterday afternoon after coming home from work. It had just rained and things were a little beaten down this one lone iris did survive.

Wow! There are some great pictures in here already! What a great start to the project.

I didn't actually take this for the photo project, but it is only a few days old.

So I guess that's what this is all about ..

A few from today.

first are forget me nots
second are wild geraniums that some consider weeds because they'll take over but they're easy to control and I'm partial to tiny flowers so they have a place in my little garden.

oops here's the wild geranium

Got out between rain showers yesterday and captured a few. The flower pickings in my area are still pretty thin.

Couple more shots from the flowers at the hotel where I work. Sorry, have no idea what type of flowers they are :o

My contribution and more to come.

Another one...

Greeting all :) Here is my go at it.

Some more from me

Some different looks at a little weed.

OK since Roger broke the ice with his dandy puff I feel safe posting mine now. Well It use to be a flower just to prove it I'll also post a relative. I'll call the two together Yesterday and Tomorrow. I'll throw in two that I posted over in the N&W forum as well.

The flowers around my house are pretty limited so here is another shot of some bleeding hearts. We did notice a few tulips had sprung up over the weekend, so hopefully I can get some shots of those.

Some lilacs and something i'm not sure what it is. Thats about all I can find aroun the yard so far.

here is my effort! I am not a botanist so I have no idea what it is called.

Old Timer suggested I post this one...so here it is.
Some Creeping phlox (spl?) in one of my flower gardens

here's some from toay...

My wife recieved some Gerbera Daisies for her birthday today. Here is my rather feeble contribution.

Skyman, it looks like a torch lily to me.
Beautiful shots, all.

Dude!

You are rocking my world with these shots Larry!

How does an old grump like yourself get down so low to take these kinda shots? You must be one dedicated photog...:D

Some more Agapanthus...

A few more...

A couple more from the flowers at work. Trying my hand at some macro this time.

This one appeared in its "pure" form in the critique forum. This is my "print" version - Ortonised and framed. It's called Bluebells and Leaves.

Cheers

I'm not much of a fan of flower shots, but the project resided in the back of my photographic mind, The reflections of the flowers on the table caught my eye.

Not a typical May flower but I see I'm not the only one posting one.
These were so late because I forgot I had them and didn't plant them until Feb. when they should have been coming up.

All taken yesterday after an all morning rain.

Couple from yesterday...

Is this a honeysuckle and is this a honeysuckle ant?

Roger

It is indeed a Honeysuckle, but I have no idea on the ant. It it's the really small and fragile ones that envade you house for sweets then we call them sugar ants. Really don't know what they are called.

Unknown flower, but nice colors.

Turns out this is Lantana of some sort.

Goldenchain tree and some wild flowers

Another from this evening.

GORGEOUS colors in the 2nd one Ben!

Congratulations on your potm Roger!!!
Your photograph of Bluebell Woods won my heart from the moment I saw it.

How much would you sell a print for?

I think that the May Project was a wonderful success. We had some truly beautiful flower images. Everyone that participated is to be congratulated. As for the winner... Outstanding choice, I too was captivated by the image from the moment I saw it. Congratulations Roger!!

Pefect choice. I'm in awe of the pic & get lost in it. I could look at it forever.
