What a Tease

I have learned something about flowers this year.

Some flowers grow easy, bloom profusely, and aren’t that much fun to take pictures of.

Some flowers grow easily, without any special attention, and even attract beneficial insects-- but just aren’t that photogenic.

Some flowers climb wildly and produce many beautiful blooms but are hard to take an interesting picture of.

And then there are my lovely gerbers.  How they torment me.

When they bloom, the flowers delight me.  But so far they don’t bloom that often.  And, as Cindy Lynn pointed out, the foliage looks like something we might eat.

Are they just playing hard to get?  Cause if they are, it’s working…
