SPEECHLESS SUNDAY... Even after all this rain.. there is sunshine.

While taking a walk today, and it wasn't raining either, I came across these flowers and thought I would share it with the rest of you.  I'm not sure what kind they are, but the fragrance is so soft and sweet smelling.

I took it easy today... tired from all the cleaning from this past week.  You can read about it on  Pay It Forward.  Hope all of you are enjoying this *non rainy* Sunday for a change.

Are they real?  They look like silk - beautiful!  If anyone knows what they are, please share - I'd love to know also/

Ron & Ellen.. These are *real* and were taken outside along the road I was walking on.  I agree with you, if anyone does know what kind of flower this is, we'd like to hear about it.

Hi Valerie - I think they are viburnum.  Mine isn't flowering yet, but I transplanted it last year, so it may be paying me back.  : )

Hi Valerie, it almost looks like a hydrangea but whatever it is...it is lovely.  The gifts of nature.  Glad the rain has stopped and that you got to enjoy your day.

Valerie, I don't know what kind of flowers they are either, but they are beautiful.  We enjoyed our Sunday without rain too.  What a beautiful day!  Do you ever notice how much for granted we take beautiful days, until we have many days of rain or snow or wind or whatever...... They make us pause to really appreciate the beautiful days.... Glad  you enjoyed yours.

Chris.. Viburnum?  Never heard of this plant.  I'll look it up.  Chris, I think it is all the rain that has yours in shock, not the fact that it was transplanted.

Steve.. I'm glad to hear that all the snow has melted up your way.  Isn't all this rain unbelievable?  I can safely say at this point, I've had enough.  I'm looking forward to warm/hot sunny weather.. if only for a while.

Judith.. The pause in the rain was truly temporary.  It is raining again today, and will for most of the week.  I'm hoping the weekend will be nice.

Vickie.. I don't know about you, but we are back in the rain again today, and for most of this coming week.  It was nice to have no rain yesterday, but some sun would have been nice to see too.  I guess that was asking for too much.

Ted.. Lace Cap Hydrangea?  Never heard of this plant.  I guess I need to Google this one too to see.  I love plants and the beauty they give, but I'm not up on all the different types of plants.

DeeDee.. As I mentioned to Ted, I will have to check out Hydrangeas... I always thought they were a full flower.. but I'm sure there are many different varieties.

Valerie, yes there is, but the rain has not given up yet.  I am thinking of putting in a call to Noah :)

George... I just have one question for you, or anyone else here that lives in CT.  What does *sunshine* look like.  It has been so long since I've seen it. :)
