Memories of Summer........

Here are a few photos of some gorgeous summer flowers. The top two photos were shot at the Portland Oregon Rose Garden, which is a must see if you are visiting Portland in the summer months. It boasts thousands of varieties of roses, hybrids, Teas, Floribundas, Grandifloras- a fragrant and visual delight to be sure! The other photos are from my front yard, look closely at the Blue Morning Glory Flower, you'll find a bee gathering pollen. The other flowers are a bright Red-Orange Oriental Poppy and a bright orange Gazania. Just a few memories from the warm days of summer.
