With the temperatures down to zero, it is hard to find any colorful blooming flowers as most have gone to seed and will float away on windy days like white snowflakes.

The beginning of this month, the yard was still filled colored blossoms but now with below freezing nights there are only a few hardy faded flowers hanging on.

The flowers didn’t get to glow in the sun today but instead they were dripping with moisture so the hydrangeas were ‘blue’ because of the weather.

The lawns and road ditches are showing various colors of daylilies on this warm August day and with more than 35,000 registered daylily cultivated varieties, there are a lot of pretty flowers to seek out. But that perfect blossom may disappear quickly as the name suggests, each flower lasts only one day.

The flowers looked in better shape before the storms pounded them with rain and wind. This clematis adds a splash of color against the green lawn.

The exact origin of Valentine’s Day might not be known, but across the country, candy, flowers and gifts were exchanged between loved ones on this holiday. Cupid and hearts are common symbols for the day but Cupid wasn’t shooting candy down to my house but he must have been having a pillow fight instead as more snow fell today. It will be a few more months before I see these hearts.

The summer flowers seem so far away when snowing is falling this evening and the predicted rain tomorrow won’t sprout blooms when the ground is frozen. There are 325 species and 50,000 registered varieties of irises. The iris earned its name from the ancient Greek Goddess Iris, a messenger to the gods who was thought to use the rainbow as a bridge between heaven and earth. On a winter day, a picture of an iris is a bridge to summer.
