Such beautiful photographic art dear Carol! A wonderful capture and excellent processing!!
Carol Senske replied:
Thank you, Shar! This year they were not as abundant as before, but the poison ivy was overtaking everything. Thankfully, a neighbor came over and sprayed to kill it. I can't get near the stuff. Have a beautiful week:>)

This is a super presentation of this pretty flower Carol........like and favourite and congratulations on your feature in A Gorgeous Green group. I had, at one time, a large bed of these and then, one year, they had all gone! And I have never been able to grow them since....very sad.
Carol Senske replied:
That's happened here with certain bulbs, but the moles and squirrels are probably responsible. Sorry you lost your flowers - I love them, too. Thanks for visiting!!!

Such a beautiful old fashioned flower, Carol, and treated here to evoke that nostalgia and a little Victorian romantic feel. Just gorgeous! F/V
