Fresh Flowers in the Rain

It was raining when we came back from shopping for flowering plants for our butterfly garden project. I'm excited to show you how the project goes, but not yet. But here are the latest gorgeous addition:

The orange hibiscus is the most favorite. I just love the dews on it.

Every dew-drop and rain-drop had a whole heaven within it.

 Dew-drops are the gems of morning,
  But the tears of mournful eve!
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge

    Your flowers are really gorgeous. I like the pink flower on the second photo. What do you call that? I want to have a flower like that. I am envy in your flowers. It seems that your garden looks enchanted with all of these gorgeous flowers planted in there.

    Thank you all for leaving comments here. I appreciate your visit and will visit you soon.

    To rose dipped: The pink flower on the second photo is a variety of rose that is very fragrant. I don't know if it has a special name but I just call it a pink rose.

    Pink roses are really cute. I have like that in my garden and they are perfect with hostas. Actually my garden is a rose garden and I am collecting different varieties of roses. I love the most is my rose iceberg. But now that I see all the gorgeous flowers of yours, I will love to plant like your flowers.
