Looks very much like the Garden star-of-Bethlehem, grass lily, nap-at-noon, or eleven-o'clock lady. Interesting. So I guess if I go out tomorrow around noon, the flowers will be all furled up, napping? Whatever it is, it's been hiding on me. I don't recall ever seeing it there, before. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

It look a little like the wild onion "weeds" Did you look at the Google link of pix? ~Sue~ |

Did some YouTube looking and found a video of Gnu's camera model. In the video they pointed the lens at Jupiter and Saturn. You can see the four moons and rings using the camera. It makes me wonder if it would be possible for him to try a few shots. |

Maybe. I have a 4 1/2" 200x refractor scope and even that is difficult to use, but I have seen Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons on it. Definitely a tripod job! Most definitely. I know if you get a adapter for your scope. You could use that iPhone as a digital camera on it. |

Got a link? Been looking for an adapter for a long time. Sure. But I thought this might of been a no brainer. Amazon.co.uk Just search for "cellphone telescope adapter mount". |

Buddleia's, both of them I think. Known as the Butterfly Bush. Usually attract a lot of flying insects and bee's in my experience. Lots of different colours, and shapes. There is one called the Orange Ball, which looks totally different. |

Love that pic with the Lilacs. Here in the more northern countries they are truly a sign that summer is underway. Two weeks before Lilacs flowering Bird Cheeries are flowering. We even have a proverb "Mellan hägg och syren" (Between Bird Cheery and Lilac) meaning that our spring is very short. And songs of course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvsmmHvWV00 |

I have an orange rose too, but mine is not a rambler. It is a hybrid tea rose called Brandy. Eric likes it for the name. I like it because it is sooooooo Halloween! Lovely spring garden pictures. |

I like roses as well. My GF's last name is Roos meaning Rose. When she worked in the Middle east she was addressed Mrs Dynamite Roos:) |

Ok Chris. I'll see your Merry Old England and I'll raise you one Northern California Our front yard, in a picture taken by Eric last weekend. Front to back we have hardy geraniums, Santa Barbara daisies, a few blooming Jupiter's beards that escaped the munching jaws of marauding mule deer, society garlic, watsonias, a few day lilies that also escaped voracious deer, and those purple things in the back which are salvia leucantha (Mexican sage). I've tried to limit our front garden palate to pink, white and purple. In the back yard, I've tried to limit the color palate to orange, white and yellow. Here we have sweet allysum, California poppies, nasturtiums, a few spent irises, snapdragons and day lilies. The cat posterior belongs to Riddler who is probably looking for lizards to play with in that picture. |

Very pretty botanical gardens, Angela. Once I get some good pictures of our dandelions, I'll post them. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

...I take it you don't eat the flowers so I think you meant palette :-)) ... LOL!!! Yes I did, although we do eat the nasturtium flowers in salads and sometimes in sandwich spreads. |
