Just beatiful, i wish mine were blossoming like this.í

Fantastic Beth! Ink Spots is sure dark...

Love that preying mantis. Don't think we get them here. At least I've never seen one. Such beautiful insects.

Lorise and Helen Naude sure look similar. Both are very beautiful.

I really like the two above and Ink Spots. My mom and I used to listen to the Ink Spots record that she had.

I love the colors in GOOD MORNING!

Glad to hear that the praying mantis is a garden friend. We haven't seen them, this far north.

Love the edging on English perfume and Marlon's day.
Lovely photos, as always.

Thanks everybody. Yeah I was kinda shocked to see that preying mantis. I used to get lots of them down the hill in the mobile home park we lived in. We're quite a bit higher elevation here, and they're pretty rare here. The only time I ever saw any here in the past, was when I bought an egg sac and released them. She disappeared the next day. No idea where she could be.
