Bloom day scans

Late to the party, as usual. (In fact, I’ve broken my record for late.) These geraniums (err pelargoniums) were supposed to be in flower in August for my daughter’s wedding. (They would have complemented the bridesmaids’colors.) Instead, they’ve waited until I put them in a cool room to remain in suspended animation for the winter to start cranking out blooms nonstop.

Thanks, as usual, for Carol for hosting at May Dreams. More scans here. Flower scanning directions are here. Click on image for larger view.

Great theme for this month’s Picture This photo contest over at Gardening Gone Wild. But lack of time and lack of subjects limited my efforts. I did try a few shots on campus over the weekend:

But I think I’m going to fall back on some older favorites that fit the theme:
