And so, just for fun, I uploaded a TON of flower and butterfly and garden pictures. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them! :)
These pictures were taken at Callaway Gardens on the first Sunday of April.
Beautiful sun-kissed pansies
Peach blossoms. Oh yes.
Blooming peach trees.
This is either Eidelweiss, or snowdrops. I'm not sure.
A frilly Hibiscus flower
The fiery heart of a tulip
A slightly ragged, yet still gorgeous butterfly.
A blue butterfly resting in peace.
A small orange and brown butterfly, brilliantly illuminated by the sun
An owl butterfly reposing in a shady spot of the garden.
Crisp, oh-so-Dutch red and white tulips.
A bright profusion of double daffodils and pink tulips
Soft pink cherry blossoms
One of my most favorite spots in Callaway- petunia baskets float above a bubbling fountain
Bright pink hyacinths pop against the dark green leafy background in this picture.
Cascading hollyhocks with open, spotted throats.
Pure, lovely, white easter lilies.
Delicate tendrils emerge from the heart of this white orchid.
Creamy yellow orchids glow with a pearlescent sheen
Tangy orange tulips, peach and yellow jonquils, ah! This is life. ;)
Light pink tulips dance in this bright sunshine.
Back at my house, I took a few pictures of these gorgeous irises with butter yellow tops and drooping violet petals.
Think that was pretty? Wait until you see...
The inside.
These peppermint azaleas also look good enough to eat! They're one of my favorite plants in our yard.
I hope you liked the pictures! Leave me a comment letting me know which was your favorite.
