Flowers of June

I am very behind in scanning and posting photos. This has a lot to do with the fact that I still do not have internet at home, which is ridiculous, I know. The only upside to this is that I get to relive some of the flowers of June in my parents' gorgeous garden. I hope you enjoy these shots. I wouldn't mind sitting out among these flower on a June evening, possibly with a cocktail in hand.
