Yesterday morning I made my usual early morning trip to the back yard to feed the birds and check on the latest flowers to open. In the distant corner dedicated to Gingers, I encountered a garden angel. Her pristine beauty immediately compelled me to fetch a camera. She was glowing in the early light.

The angel, my first white ginger blossom for this season, led me to photograph some of the other Gingers in the immediate area. After that, on my way back inside, I encountered a sunny buttercup and also a wild red Morning Glory (a weed). As if these weren't enough, a large, beautiful Tiger Swallowtail showed up to nectar and pose as well. What a great start to the day!

Carol, why not take the camera with you when you go out to explore? Seems your back yard is loaded with opportunities to shoot.
Great shots, BTW.

Carol, what a beautiful way to start your day!!! I have always loved the ginger flowers. First saw them when we visited Costa Rica. Of course, we can't grow them here.

Tom, I do frequently take a camera out to explore. When I'm going out to fill the bird feeders and birdbaths I don't. Your point is so correct, though. No matter where I go these days, my first thought is "Should I take the camera?". I've been getting more shots that way for sure. I'm absolutely no good with a phone camera!

Thank you, Rowedean. I've grown several different ones over the years but these are some of the prettiest.

Thank you, Joe. I obviously like the Ginger, too. Last year I even planted a piece of grocery store ginger. I don't expect it to be an outstanding beauty but it is growing. I hope it will bloom.

Thank you, Jederick! I really enjoy having all the plants. It is pretty well established now so it's not too much work.

What a beautiful way to start the morning Carol. I love the Gingers, and how nice of the Swallowtail to stop by and pose for you.
