More Summer Flowers

Photo 327 - August 15

As summer is winding down, and we're finally getting a little rain, it's nice to see the flowers starting to perk back up. The roses, especially, seem to have come back into bloom. These are my Dark Lady Kordes roses, which started out the season slowly but have come back nicely.

And these flowers kind of crack me up. They grow huge, long, flat leaves in the spring and then those die off. And then in late summer, the flower stalks come out of the ground and the flowers bloom on top of them. The flowers are pretty, but the whole thing looks a little spindly, and they seem to come from out of nowhere to bloom.
