While waiting for my son to finish his soccer practice, I walked around and came upon a little garden.
These pink flowers immediately caught my eye …
Then I found out there’s a whole family of them!
There’s white ….
… and red …
… purple …
… and fucshia!
Don’t know what this is called.
And the purple and caramel iris. My favorite from this photo-shoot.
Now why can’t these grow in my garden?
A little bit of this and that ... 
those are Dianthus. Over the weekend I bought a 6 pack of them. They are related to carnations and smell heavenly! Mine are white with red accents. LOVE your flower pictures. What a fabulous photographer!
Oh thanks for the flower name. Yes, flowers are my best models – they stay in one place and don’t get tired or walk away! lol I’m still playing around with camera and photography, so hopefully will get better at it.
