Let’s take time to smell the flowers, today. Some are from my backyard, and some from other places.
All from my camera.

and….my own sweet sleepy flower, 6 years ago.

Kindly hosted by Unknown Mami every Sunday, Sunday In My City is my most favorite linky. Because I am fond of her and also, get to visit other city sights across the world from her blog. You can, too!

With love,

Vidya Sury

Thank you, Saravana, that “sangu” flower is very special to me. It was the first in that creeper my mom planted. Same with the cream color hibiscus. I’ll check out the invite :-). Let’s have a separate discussion about the suggestions for the blog – what say? Gmail chat is fine for me. You know my email.

Someone else also made a tropical flower post today. We “ain’t” got no flowers up here in the snowy climes right now!!!

All are gorgeous, especially that last one.

Ah, my friend, you capture my heart when you photograph flowers!   I love the colors!  It makes me miss my flower gardens I used to grow when we lived in Ohio some 6  years ago.  Beautiful pictures.  Thanks for sharing!  XOXOs

Love the photos, especially, your sweet angel.

They’re all pretty, but I like your sweet, sleepy flower best. Precious!

What are the red and yellow flowers though? I think they’re in the 9th picture and they’re gorgeous! I’ve never seen anything like them!

Hey Emily! Good to see you back – hope you had a great holiday! I am trying to find out the name for those flowers – there’s an abundance of them at the children’s park where I photographed them. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear from my friend who is an expert with plant names 🙂 I do know the name of the sleepy flower, though 😉

Vidya Sury January 23, 2012 at 11:00 am

🙂 Hi BLOGitse! yes, that sleepy flower did wake up in time! You have a lovely week too!
