white Hibiscus

I think this is the best shot I am going to get of the white one, it isn't opened completely but they only last about a day. Nasty little wasp got in the picture...

here's another one taken 2 days later... (a different blossom)

more Hibiscus

Top picture is pink, more pink, red, more red, and dark pink; the white out front is not blooming yet since it doesn't get as much sun. they are all so pretty.

Hibiscus 2010

gorgeous this year, as always!

Wildflower Hike

On Sunday I went on a wildflower hike to Albion Basin in Little Cottonwood Canyon. I was with friends, one of whom is a Master Gardener and she was able to name every flower! It was a treat and a feast for the eyes. I didn't get as many pictures as I wished because my battery died mid way. But when I got home I was able to find all the flowers we saw in my flower book. This hike is a yearly must do!


this is a field of blue penstemons

in the gentian family (I think)
