Camera Critter Saturday

In my garden last week.

Cosmos

Cosmos, still one of the best flowers around.

Clivia

With so many plants blooming outside I hesitated to post these photos but my Clivia is in bloom again, the plant is over 15 years old and now blooms several times a year. It has two flower stalks.   I was finally able to afford a yellow one this year but it is a young plant and probably will not bloom for at least a couple of years.

Todays Flowers Yellow Coneflower

These were taken at Sweets Marsh in Iowa.  This is one Iowa's many beautiful prairie flowers, Yellow Coneflower-Ratibida Pinnata.

Camera Critter Saturday Rosie

All three doggies got new toys recently, Quasi-Boy the boxer is not all that interested, so Rosie always manages to get more than her share, at one point she had all 3 of the new toys but ended up with 2 of them.

Red Hibiscus

We had more rain again last night, another 1.5 inches, we are having flooding here in Iowa, hot and humid still, I do not remember another summer like this one. 

Today's Flowers Hibiscus

The pretty pink Hibiscus are in their full glory right now.  Guess what?  It is still hot and humid with a heat index of over 100...............I am so ready for fall.
