The picture I am currently using for my blog is my favorite flower. I have been able to see these flowers in Ohio and Michigan. Maybe someday I will order these flowers to plant in my garden. They are very expensive. God is so creative to have made so many different kinds of flowers.
Here is some "noteworthy" info on the flower:

Such a cute little name for a flower. :)
