To alleviate today's grumpiness, I took some flower photos I've been meaning to shoot for at least a week now. Most of them aren't anything special -- just documentation so that I know what blooms when -- but I must say that I am very pleased with this macro of one of the paper daisies in the front planter. My only regret is that I wish I'd framed it just a tiny bit better so that none of the top petals were cut off. Still, it'll do.

(As always, more garden shots in my photostream, if you care to look.)

Pretty! I love strawflowers.

I had never heard of them until last year, when our CSA offered cut-your-own, but I never had time to get any. When I ran across them at the nursery, I decided to put some in, and now at least I know why they're called paper daisies -- it's amazing how stiff and papery their petals are.
