Things are blooming around here, too. Thus, I had to take an antihistamine a few minutes ago. Arrrrgh!

These are pretty common in my area. They grow well and are low-maintenance.

And those buds will probably be open by tomorrow.

I actually think they're prettier just before opening, but of course the flower has other ideas!

Coming from you, this is high praise indeed.

In fact, I was trying to get the perfect depth of field.
