When I got up this morning and went into the garden, I was greeted by many pretty flowers, but these two stood out among them.
This cactus blossom was facing directly toward the rising sun and radiated so beautifully as if to beckon me and my camera. And the delicate fragrance was just wonderful.
Under the grass cloth this bright and beautiful pumpkin blossom promised a wonderful pumpkin crop this coming fall.
Update: Both of these lovely flowers are history. Each is short-lived and as of this evening they’ve wilted and go on to the next step in the life cycle of cactii and pumpkins. I’m glad I got these pix when I did.
