    Lovely blooms. I have a weak spot for Oenotheras. Yours looks so delicate!

    A lovely, delicate looking bloom. I wonder why it's called a scorpion flower?

    We can get acacia as cut flowers here now and then, and I like the fragrance. :)

    We get them in floral arrangements here too but they wouldn't grow in our climate I don't think.

    We have purple clover here but none as attractive as your Purple owls clover.

    I wonder if the flowers are small like the clover we get around here?
