Peace Be With You (A Flower Photo Blog)

Hi Everybody:


Please come in for a quiet Sunday.  I bring you gifts of my flowers from Rainbow Creek to warm your heart! As you view the flowers, I would like you to think about:  What is a Flower?   Enjoy!

I invite you to leave any comments or thoughts you might have about flowers.  Goodnight


Good basic information on flowers is at this link:

Hinkley: It's as important to protect a place like this as it is to protect the forests in North America or Central America, Australia or New Zealand. Every single slice is still filled with plants and with animals, insects, amphibians, and all life-forms that we still have not inventoried. We don't yet have a reference point for what life is on this planet. We're going back and looking at what once existed here through fossil evidence, but we still yet don't have a clear idea of what lives right now. We need to know what is surviving at this moment in time on the planet.
