“Don’t worry. Be Happy”
This has to be one of my favorite flowers of all time. An explosion of radiant energy in perfect symmetry, it makes me feel happy and happy is a good thing.

“Denver Botanic Gardens presents the Rocky Mountain Region’s first major outdoor exhibition of artwork by Chihuly. Chihuly’s sculptures – ranging in size and form – add bold colors and dramatic beauty to the Gardens’ 24-acre urban oasis.”
Just WOW! And thank you Mom and Dad for this amazing experience. The flowers were pretty too.

I am thrilled to start the flower week!! Tonight, I was drawn to the color purple. I honestly noticed both the uplift and the calm I felt when looking at these beautiful petunias. I could have shot a single flower but they were calling me to capture the whole bed of purple.
I hope you enjoy this week as much as I know I will! Smiling.
