    This was just at the start of the decay process. I didn’t get time to shoot them again after this. They’re only with us for such a very short time, but I like to enjoy them for as long as I can. I thought it would be nice to show you a couple of different…

    Where flowers bloom, so does hope. – Lady Bird Johnson I took so many shots of these flowers.
