My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

LOLL! I dont dare to show you how many I have of this kind...I mean that I havent posted yet and that I got so tired to look at, because I always found something more exiting to post. But Tara, the flower is so sweet and with sucn a lovely blue color, so you could call it "Blue wonder", because you wonder what name this lovely flower has and because it has a WONDERful look. :)))
awjay
its a geranium i think..... andrea should know :)

I had the same problem. I posted this same flower last year and couldn't find its identity. but it is such a gorgeous and simple bloom, the name makes no difference. Great shot. (just went on-line and looked. Something in the way the flower bud hangs on the stem triggered a thought...take a look at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kbphilosophy/260197800/in/set-72157600300476791/ and also at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NNDAYM?smid=A2M3UEMSNZKK5L&tag=dealtime-lawngarden-20&linkCode=asn Maybe one of those or at least the same species?

Beautiful shot. At first glance I thought this to be a blue hibiscus... I saw one today; but then I went and looked at that geranium, and that sure looks close, but the petals are shaped a bit differently on the geranium.

HAHA silly description indeed :-) love it ~ and yet I do not have the faintest clue what it is either lol! have a great day!

It looks like a type of clemitis, but I don't know. It's sure pretty though. Bunny
nongo
