Lovely capture, Laura. #7152390Ron McEwan February 11, 2009
The composition makes them appear to be hanging down or flowing. Beautiful composition Laura. I have now idea, but if they smell that good I want some of it. If you ever have a chance to smell wild cliff rose, take a deep breath; it will lift you off the ground. #7153436Evy Johansen February 11, 2009

Checking out your gallery always leads to lovely discoveries like this, Laura.Laura E. Swan April 21, 2009
Gee thank you everyone! If anyone is still attached to this thread please except my apology for not getting here sooner. BP doesn't alert me on some of my images when someone has made a comment!Anyway I have read them all and this was FUN! Paul, you guessed the flower right.
They are alysium!!! They are very tiny and smell like honey and the bees love them! They are used as ground cover or in hanging baskets or boarders...
My spell checker is saying we are spelling them wrong however??? Maybe SPELL CHECK doesn't know much about gardening???
Thanks much all!
-Laura

Wonderful composition and dof Swanie-Lu! Great job! We have one flower for each sister at the convent! Very thoughtful on your part! #7744953Jack R. Perry July 16, 2009
Very cool capture. #7745488Laura E. Swan July 16, 2009
Okay, Little Kiki, YES. YOU MAY COMMENT. I see I have acquired yet ANOTHER NEW NAME. What shall they put on my head stone one day? It will have to be a stone WALL!!!Thank you both for your descriptions of what you see here. You are both correct. The Sisters here at the Nevada branch DO try and be little lights in a dark world.
When we move to the ROCKIES to the NEW PROPERTY at WEDGE POND we wish to become shooting stars.
And the few of us that travel back and fourth to the Philly branch wish to be BELLS of LIBERTY while there!
Now you know the plans. Thank you AGAIN! -SSSister Lillie WW #7745502
