In between rain showers I rushed outside to capture some of the intrepid flowers that are blooming. These little Balloon plants are such a lovely, deep purple color and so abundant.
My Lavender is trying very hard to bloom -- but I suspect its wondering how it ended up here, instead of a dryer, Mediterranean climate.
The Echincea and Black Eyed Susans are working nicely together with their bright colors.
Oh and don't I love the Butterfly Weed (now how could anyone call this a weed) with its bright orange blooms.
Lastly, but certainly not least, come my Hydrangeas which are still standing tall, blooming beautifully and saying to the rain 'bring it on'!
"I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a beautiful feeling
I'm happy again..."
