Friday Photography - April Flowers

Though the phrase is usually "April showers bring May flowers", there are plenty of flowers blooming already in April, and it makes me very happy. I snapped these photos around the Ames Florida Stork House in Rockford, Minnesota.

Lavender Pinwheel Flower

Bee in a Flower Patch

A single, fat yellow jacket was feasting on this flower patch. If you look close, you can see him on one of the center flowers. I am looking forward to the weather warming up and more flowers sprouting!

I have to ask every time I can't identify a flower: Does anyone know what these are?

Also check out this beautiful Red & Yellow Tulip I captured. Beautiful!
