Very pretty and I love the soft colors in the background

Love this! I love them at this stage, just before they turn right side out! The buds always seem like they're inside out, to me!

I ditto pixels4U. A friend stopped by my house and checked out my own garden, enough to inform me that the flowers I've delighted in growing are WILD WEEDS!!! :)

@queenlily42, Sometimes what some people call weeds are someone else's "wildflowers" If you like them grow them!!!!
