I Heart Macro - Lavender....mostly

But lots of other flowers too, we're heading in to the time of year where taking pictures of flowers will no longer be an option.
 So I figured I'd get my fill now, plus I bought a few new plants so I had to take pics of those first thing!

I missed I Heart Macro last week so I'm happy to be participating again.


This is a new variety of Lavender I got to go in my Lavender garden. I'm trying to get lots of different sizes and colors in one spot. Looks good so far, hope they all survive the winter! 



Lavender with it's Party Hat on!!

Not a very clear shot but I think you can see how cute this little flower is!



Mallow, was tough to get this picture, there was just enough of a breeze I never thought I'd get a clear shot.


Amazing Gaillardia!

This must be the seed pod to the flower above.

Stunning Crocosmia, a new variety for me!

Incredibly gorgeous Penstemon!
