Carol’s Flowers
My daughter’s neighbor, Carol, has a really pretty clematis vine that I wish I could grow. She explained her pruning technique to me last week, but I have had no luck with this type of clematis to date. They all die after I prune.

Before I post some of the images I took in Portland last week I thought I would share this one of our granddaughter. She is a great subject to shoot.

Tomorrow I plan to post some of the images I shot while in Portland and elsewhere last week. For now, here is another look at the Jacob Cline.
Monarda ‘Jacob Cline’
Interesting flower just blooming in one of our planter boxes. When I bought the seeds I didn’t notice how tall it would get when mature. Seems like it is at least three feet high right now.
My Absence
I am in Portland, Or. this week and will return home on July 5th. No new posts this week, but have about 200 new images to work through when I do return home.

Daylily
I get the Daylily confused with the Tiger Lily. I’m still not sure which is which, even after looking at photos. I have a few of these (fill in the blank)—–lilies in our yard.

Flower from the Past
I was looking through some folders that have some images taken with my Minolta X-700. This is a scanned image that I found and thought it would be nice to share. Something about film images that digital SLR’s can’t duplicate.
On a cloudy day
This flower looks very unenthusiastic. Maybe it is the weather?
