Wildflowers that is.
It’s Spring here in Florida and all of the beautiful flowers are in full bloom. We went out on a photo shoot this weekend and there were so many to choose from. Hibiscus and bougainvillea were plentiful. And the stargazer lilies were absolutely stunning! But as I was snapping away, I realized with a macro lens I can find beauty far beyond the typical floral fare. So I got on my hands and knees and started looking at the plants and flowers along the raggedy fences. The little “weeds” and scrubs had my full attention for the day. I was absolutely amazed at the beauty I found in these things we normally mow down and look over. It’s another world of magnificence!
The lavender specimen above revealed to me the most delicate purple hairs with dancing bursts of yellow rimmed in black. Seriously WILD! The yellow soft surprise below opened it’s inner world to me with a show of orange and delicate veins.
Nature: I bow to you in even your seeming insignificance. I no longer see “weeds” in my garden. 🙂

That’s just gorgeous! X
Thank you! I agree…..these didn’t look like much until you got real close. 🙂 Such beauty in nature.
You’re right – the so-called “weeds” are just as much a part of the beautiful blanket of spring!
The purple flower is common spiderwort, which I adore! It grows wild here as well and comes in shades ranging from deep blue-purple to lavender to ivory. SO beautiful! I’m not sure what the other flower is…
Thank you Debi for identifying the purple flower for me! Yes they are beautiful and I have seen the darker purple here in Florida but not the ivory….I will keep my eyes peeled for them. And the yellow….maybe someone else will know. 🙂
How delightful this is Sharon – I love wildflowers. Some people call them weeds but they haven’t paid attention then. Beautiful shots to go with this post. Shared.
Thank you Lianne!
Sharon, these are just gorgeous and so sensitive! Beautiful!
Thanks Douglas!
