We may be in the dog days of summer, but I still managed to find some beautiful flowers at the arboretum. They may be a little faded and showing their age, but there is real beauty to be found. I spent quite a bit of time capturing macro shots of some of my favorites. Yellow roses are one of my favorite flowers, especially when they are a soft yellow and tipped with peach.
But I also love bright happy flowers like the one above. I especially love the little flowers that make up the inside.
But my favorite one this trip, was this pink rose. I love the darker dots which I'm sure some would consider damage, but to me, they are what makes this flower unique and beautiful.
Do you have a favorite flower? Do you prefer elegant roses, mysterious orchids or happy daisies?
Another old school song that made my playlist at the arboretum - Steve Earle's "Good-bye."

Your flower photos are beautiful. I too am a rose lover...forever. This summer I discovered what a Moss Rose bush is and will shop for one early next year.
Those pictures are lovely! Especially the bright yellow with tiny flowers on its center -- stunning :)
I don't usually love roses. They feel intimidating to me, and I can't pinpoint why. But flowers that are exotic and delicate -- my favorites -- are definitely not simple ones to grow, so my 'intimidation' argument doesn't really make sense :) Either way, flowers are gifts!
Your favorite is so lovely, it's like a beautiful girl with freckles across her nose, glorious!
Your images are very pretty. I love roses, but daisies are a very close second.
i am a happy daisies kind of girl. Love them very much.
Love those macro shots. especially the one of the pink one. So unique!
There are so many beautiful flowers out there that I don't think I have an absolute favourite, but I do love them and you have now made me ponder over that very matter :-)
i wish i had a macro lens, these photos are so amazing! love them. i got inspired by your photo - soundtrack combo. i posted one to my blog =) thanks for the inspiration
beautiful! i love the one with the little flowers around the inside. so delicate.
Beautiful pics sis.
I love those. My favorite where all the little flowers inside the big flower, but I also loved the colors on the pink spotted rose. So beautiful!!
I love roses especially when they are scented. In general I don't like "hothouse" flowers, I prefer the old fashioned seasonal flowers- poppies, marigolds, pansies etc.
Your photos are beautiful!

Hey Jamie-
The flowers are so beautiful...I especially like your first macro shot of the yellow rose.
I don't know as I have a favorite flower....but I sure have taken a lot of beach roses this summer. Rosa Rugosa...perhaps that's my fav.
daisies! definitely daisies! But I would love to run through a field of tulips in Holland just once.
these are lovely, especially the zinnia. i love fragrant flowers the most, especially sweet peas.
