This is the side of one pink Calibrachoa bloom. Think baby petunias, which is what I call them. When I zoomed in I was more interested in the contrast between the bright pink and the dark background than the actual bloom itself.

Thanks to my facebook flower friends, I know now what this flower is: a balloon flower. I love the color and form of the balloon bud. In cropping the photo, I liked the shapes, colors, and positioning of these buds. Since I took the photo, the purple one has opened up. Beautiful.

One more coneflower that’s getting close to opening. I had a sense of the coneflower singing outward in this one. What do you see?

It seems I never tire of coneflower close-ups.

Another milkweed flower photo, but these buds haven’t quite opened. Still intriguing! A milkweed bud bouquet.

Prompted by a facebook 7-day “nature photo” challenge (thanks, Janice), this is the first of seven photos I took in our backyard today. I know I should probably take a photo each of seven days, but that’s not happening (at least I can’t count on it happening). But in addition to fulfilling the nature photo challenge, I now have seven daily janes in a row! Haven’t done that in awhile.
We have one milkweed plant in back (courtesy of the previous owner, I imagine—or the wind). Having seen milkweed almost exclusively (as far as I knew, anyway) in autumn when the signature pods are present, I was delighted to see these blooms forming then opening.
