🚫 orchid Roses really are the star performers in a garden. #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #roses #macrophotography #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

It’s been fairly warm so these flowers have opened almost fully since yesterday’s post. Cattleya Canhamiana var. coerulea ‘Azure Sky’ #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macro #macrophotopraphy #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

These flowers just popped open today. It should fill out in a day or two. Cattleya Canhamiana var. coerulea ‘Azure Sky’ #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macro #macrophotopraphy #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

🚫 orchid Monarch butterflies are flying around now. #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #insects #butterflies #macrophotography #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

This is an older hybrid registered in 1997. I think breeding has improved since. Phalaenopsis Leopard Prince 'Chou' #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macro #macrophotopraphy #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

🚫 orchid I really like the purple on this Agapanthus cultivar named Ever Anethyst. #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #lilies #macrophotography #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

I got this orchid almost 6 weeks ago and it’s still looking fantastic. I named it Strawberry Jam to identify it when the flowers are gone. Phalaenopsis NoID ‘Strawberry Jam’ #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macro #macrophotopraphy #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

🚫 orchid I found this rose flower peaking over a neighbor’s fence looking very romantic. #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #roses #macrophotography #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

It’s getting close to bloom time for my purpuratas (usually July). Here’s one I used to have. Cattleya purpurata var. carnea #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macro #macrophotopraphy #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

🚫 orchid I don’t think geraniums (Pelargonium peltatum) ever stop flowering. #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macrophotography #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

I wish I could buy Vanda orchids like this one. Vanda John De Biase #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macro #macrophotopraphy #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

🚫 orchid I like how this alstroemeria flowers on and off throughout the warmer days. #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macrophotography #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

It’s been over 3 weeks since this flower opened. I hope I can enjoy it for at least another week before it fades away. Paphiopedilum Harold Koopowitz #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #macro #macrophotopraphy #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

🚫 orchid This is a thornless primocane raspberry called ‘Joan J’. I planted these in a pot this spring and they are starting to fruit now. #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #fruits #photography #macromonday #macrophotography #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky

🚫 orchid It’s the end of blackberries from floricanes (left), but primocanes are starting to fruit (right). I’ve had blackberries for months now 😋 from this Prime Ark® Freedom cultivar. #flowers #gardening #nature #bloomscrolling #fruits #photography #macromonday #macrophotography #365photo 📷🌱🌴🪴sky
