I photographed this daisy-like wild flower growing near a pond across from Lee Turkey Farm in East Windsor, New Jersey. It was a prolific photography day for me.
Note: Fleabane sounds like a good possibility for what this is (thanks, Louise). I think it is a weed. One commenter thought this might be lawn daisies (didn’t look like the ones in Google images, though) and someone else thought asters (and egWow is convinced these are asters). Hmmm…

I took this photo last month while waiting for my son’s bus to arrive. We were in the parking lot of a girls’ high school, and my husband (he can be a bit of a joker) was asking my six-year-old what she thought of the school. It is down the street from the high school that my son is now attending. It is nice that someone at the school cares enough to have pretty flowers in front!

Here is a portulaca in bloom. In the upper right corner, one can see white alyssum. More portulacas blooming by the sidewalk.portulaca bud
Portulaca or moss rose, which I grow in front of my house bordering the sidewalk, is one of my favorite flowers. I love watching the little buds grow. I love looking at the flowers in the middle of the day to see which one is in full bloom. They don’t need a lot of care, just weeding around them and sunlight.

Photo of this pink bouganvillea or paper flower was taken in the City of David, Jerusalem in early July. I believe the Mount of Olives is in the background.

Even though this is almost definitely NOT the flower referred to by Song of Songs, it is a beautiful flower to have growing in one’s backyard. Mine grew “by accident”, a cast-off from one of my neighbors’ plants. It grows like a weed. I just have to trim what’s growing around the little flowering tree.
This is my first submission to Today’s Flowers, which appear every Monday.
