Today's Flowers: A Clyde's-Eye View of the Lawn

These blossoms made their way through dad and mom's lawn in North Carolina and managed to live well for a few days before the lawn guys came along and chopped their heads off. We have to live well while we can!

I owe it to my daughter's dachshund Clyde for having a seat alongside these flowers one afternoon last summer and thus pointing them out to me.  I hadn't noticed them before.

    You took your chance well by taking this photo! These flowers are so lovely, it's a pity that their heads were chopped off!

    Those are gorgeous! I'm wondering what they are. They look like blooms on some kind of succulent plant.

    I think they are ice plant and I can't believe someone chopped them down. Beautiful shot.

    I think they look like Ice Plants, too. I'd have mowed around them! ♥♫

    I think that is Ice Plant and probably considered a lawn weed. The flower is pretty, really bright and I love your perspective.

    Estas flores são lindas! Pena que nasceram em um gramado que será aparado!
