the remnants of summeri must apologize, but i'm not so familiar with the names of a lot of flowers. so rather than guess, if i don't know what the flower is called, i will just leave the frame blank. if you happen by here and you know the name of any of the flowers here, i'd appreciate your leaving a message. you see, i've been wanting all summer long to come to rosetta mcclain gardens to take pictures of the lovely summer flowers, but my weekends have been so busy taking care of two very impressionable grandsons. today is the only free time i had and i know i am too late for the flowers. most of the flowers are at the last stage of their seasonal life but they are still magnificently beautiful. enjoy browsing through the photographs.
