Today's Flowers - Wooly Blue Curls

My photos for today's meme are called Trichostema Lanatum - Wooly Blue Curls. I wish I'd remember how to use the manual focus on my camera. Whenever I need it I can't remember how to get to it. I needed it for these because the lens kept wanting to focus on the background and not the flower. Urrrggghhh! LOL!


Anyway, I've always like the soft curl of the stamen and the lovely colors. Oh! And can you see the hummingbird in the first photo? :-)

Today's Flowers

Up at the lake by my house I walked up over to the top of a hill and as I cleared the top of the hill the first picture is what laid out before be, almost a field of lavendar and purple daisies (if they're actually daisies). I thought it was was so pretty especially with the lake as a background.

Today's Flower #8

I apologize for not knowing the name of this flowers. This is one of the flowers I took photos of at Descanso Gardens. Sometimes I get so busy taking pictures I forget to trying to find the name of the flower.

Edited: Thanks to Piedmont Perspective for the tip. I was able to look it up and this is a pink anemone.

Morning Glories

As pretty as these little purple flowers are, they are the bain of my garden existence. Not only do they attract bumble bees which send me running into the house but they take over EVERYTHING! I pulled them up one year after I planted them many years ago and they still pop up all over my yard. Because they're vines, if I don't pull them up quickly they literally take over everything and I have to untwine and clip them out of my rose bushes and whatever else they've invaded. Still, they did make for a pretty picture before I pulled them out of my gladiolas.
