Pretty Flowers I've Seen This Summer - A Photo Article For Flower Lovers

I am truly passionate about #flowers. I enjoy gardening too, it's just that I'm not so good at gardening, I guess I lack the consistency required. However, I have many flowers all over my yard and in the garden. I enjoy spending time just staring at them and taking photos of all the different plants and flowers I come across.

I've decided to share some of the beautiful flowers I've taken photos of. I just used my cellphone to take these photos so I'm warning you: they aren't professional photos. But, I want to share them with you anyway. I know that so many people enjoy flowers and looking at flowers. Did you know that gardening, looking at flowers and buying flowers are therapeutic activities?

This is the first sunflower of the year in my front yard!

"A rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose. All flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women too.” – Miranda Kerr

Poppies are special, you can't put them in a vase or they'll wither instantly and that's what I love about them, they are pretty and they belong in fields surrounded by other pretty wildflowers.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. - William Blake 'To See a World'

"If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden." — Frances Hodgson Burnett
