Victoria, BC, is known for its abundance of flowers,

and the locals take their flower gardens very seriously.

I snapped these as I was walking

around the Governor's Mansion

in between spring showers.

Not sure what they are called...any ideas?

Well, its not exactly a macro,

but this is as close as I could get...

a very vibrant orchid for your enjoyment...

(did you know that orchid seeds are the size of dust?)

I don't know much about roses,

but this pretty little one caught my eye

when I attended a birthday party recently...

This is a Lacecap Hydrangea.

They grow best in moist, but well-drained soil preferring a cool semi-shaded position.

I love their beautiful leaves as much as I love their delicate blossoms...
