Flowers

Okay, I do like flowers and thought I would share pictures of a couple I recently (this summer) took pictures of.

This flower is from our front flower bed. No, I don't know what it is and neither does Amy. I know it is from some bulbs I bought her but I can't remember the name of the flower.

The above picture was taken at Palo Duro Canyon. Again, we haven't been able to identify yet (though we have tried). I thought it might be a thistle of some kind but reference material at the visitor's center at Palo Duro Canyon did not have it listed and the personnel there could not identify it either. They were in abundance in June, a product of the wet weather this year.
