I just had to take some pictures of these garden friends while I was collecting seeds a little while ago.

Nice pics, Lynne!

What is that bottom flower?
That's so pretty!

...and by the way...what do you call that color of those flowers? I have a butterfly bush the same color, and I was trying to describe it to someone, and couldn't think of what the color was called.

The top and bottom flowers are autumn joy sedums - same plant, bad camera, Cindy.

Not sure about the color name - it's sorta between a pink and a salmon, isn't it?

I have that!
Mine isn't that pretty!


Yeah...but if you had the box of 64 Crayola crayons, what would the name of that color be?

Beautiful pictures. I love the top and bottom flower too.

Well that WOULD be the question, now wouldn't it?

Gonna have to go to the crayola website tomorrow when I'm more coherent and take a look into it!

Oh Lynne, those pictures are awesome! Geesh, the colors are so bright and beautiful and the pictures are extremely sharp!

Actually, Lynne, in the top picture the flower looks very pink to me, rather than salmon!

Well, Cindy, if they would let me name the color I would call it "Awesome Pink"!

Thanks so much for sharing these pictures, Lynne!

How 'bout bubblegum pink ?

The top butterfly is a red admiral, and I've never had one of those here, although they should definitely be seen up here! Your pictures are so beautiful

Thanks all!

Patti - those pictures were taken with my old camera - haven't had time for the new one yet.
But that's why I wanted a new one - same plant and the colors came out so very differently!!!

The real color is more like the bottom picture on that particular sedum, though I do have others that are more pink like the top picture.

I just got my crayons out...

The color that comes closest (on my screen, anyway) is fuchsia.
