What lovely photos. I have to say I can see your improvement in all your photos, the beautiful flowers too. I love them all and find them inspirational. You know there was a new beautiful yellow out this year in Snapdragon's, your mothers favorite flower. I had them and they stood out so much, they were quite captivating.
