Flowers

I feel pretty lucky to have a mother who loves flowers. The spring seasons of my childhood began with the blooming of the daffodils and the tulips, followed by a season full of color and all shapes and sizes and textures. Only when I paid closer attention (since I never was involved in any of the work in the garden besides a little weeding for extra cash) did I notice the progression of flowers from the daffodils and tulips, to the roses, to the peonies, to the daises and snapdragons and the purple cosmos. Here's a sampling of what currently is blooming at the Treece residence.
