hmmm...there was some flower I used to grow back east called something similar... I wonder what it was and what it looked like...

nice catch!

The flat leaves of the nasturtiums (sp?) make wonderful supports for 'just a drop'!

I was thinking nasturtiums too! Great eye Sandra. You do have a knack for seeing the beautiful in the ordinary. I had the opportunity to watch a hummingbird take a bath on a flagstone last week. It had the tiniest of puddles, and the bird splished and splashed and had a wonderful time in it. And, no my Siberian iris did not bloom, I think I've got it planted in too wet of a spot...will transplant this fall.

Oh.My.
What a great picture!

Sandra said...

Allegra, thanks! I have nasturtiums bordering the sidewalk and this caught my eye as I walked by.

gsc, you are funny! You'll remember one day....

Bonnie, it held the water perfectly.

Deb, I've never seen a hummingbird be still, so that must have been a sight. My siberian iris aren't blooming either.

Thank you Sandra.

Ok, they are called Fairy cups, that much I remember...when I talk to my sister I'll get the name of the plant
