I love the variety of flowers that can be grown here in the mountains of North Carolina. Among my favorites are Japanese iris which are amazing even before they open!

The wrinkles in the poppy mimic the wrinkles in the clouds. It is fun to get a different perspective.

Flat red leaves of Kalanchoe thrysiflora

by Nancy Wilson
(St. Petersburg, Florida)

This beautiful Kalanchoe succulent is from a plant I started ten years ago. It is in a pot on my patio with morning sun in zone 9, Florida. Several of the plants that I started from the mother plant have bloomed with tall spikes. I love the patterns of the leaves and shadows falling across them.

This picture was taken at sunset using a macro lens with the sun setting behind - giving a striking colour as the light gleems through the transparent Canna Leaf

HOSTA

I enjoy hostas for the leaves. I have several of them and I intend to add many more. There are so many different kinds. These three leaves were so nicely layered against each other that I just had to have a picture.
