| It's been a bit since I have been here. So much has happened! I shared about our Bloomin Time! and in that was a collage of some blooms that had been around our homestead. I asked some questions about the blooms and here are the answers! Do you know the names of those flowers? The names of the flowers are:  Sunflower
The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant in the family Asteraceae and native to the Americas, with a large flowering head (inflorescence). The stem can grow as high as 3 metres, and the flower head can reach 30 cm in diameter with the "large" seeds. The term "sunflower" is also used to refer to all plants of the genus Helianthus, many of which are perennial plants.  Petunia The origin of P. x hybrida is thought to be by hybridization between P. axillaris (the large white or night-scented petunia) and P. integrifolia (the violet-flowered petunia). P. axillaris bears night-fragrant, buff-white blossoms with long, thin tubes and somewhat flattened openings.  Daylily These plants are perennial. The name Hemerocallis comes from the Greek words ἡμέρα (hēmera) "day" and καλός (kalos) "beautiful". The flowers of most species open at sunrise and wither at sunset, possibly replaced by another one on the same stem the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days.  Black Eyed Susans Rudbeckia hirta is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is an upright annual (sometimes biennial or perennial) native to most of North America, and is one of a number of plants with the common name Black-eyed Susan that also has purple on the side. One of them is my Mama's favorite, one of them is my favorite, one of them is just a wildflower, and one of them was planted. Mama's favorite is: Black Eyed Susans My favorite is: Daylily Wildflower: Sunflower Planted: Petunia Aren't those great flowers? I sure love them and will be sad when summer is over and the leaves and snow fall!
Hope you enjoyed this little flower lessson. Prayers and Blessings,  Find me here: The Daily Planet ©AmandaDixon2008 |

I also wanted to thank you for writing about Marsha and her family and the loss of little Christian. I don't even know Marsha, but my heart aches for her and her family. I have been praying for them, and plan on writing her a note tomorrow. God's Blessings, Amy Jo |
