Summer Heat and the Flowers are in Full Bloom!

I was sitting out by the hot tub this afternoon in the sun listening to a couple of hours of music on my ipod and looking at this flower next to my chair. Isn't it so cool. You see many of these as you cruise the North Carolina coast in the summer time. I love them. I am a bit of a green thumb anyway having inherited my Grandmother's genes and love of all things green. You have to love the hot Summer and being alive. Back to the music in a moment!
