In trying to enhance our summertime dining experience, I've decided to add edible flowers. Not the ones growing in the back yard but organically grown and classified as edible, they are grown in chemical-free and pesticide-free conditions in order to labeled as edible products.

These cactus are in our back yard and I just had to take a crack at time lapse exposure. It was fun. The flowers bloomed a lot quicker than I thought they would so instead of one exposure every 2 minutes I could have done them every minute or 30 seconds.

thumb so I try to stay away from flowers or any pretty plants. But my
fathter in law insisted I get something … (4 comments)

My challenge as a gardener is that I want instant gratification. I want it now. I don't want to wait.
