flowers of Grand Isle

There were some amazing flowers there – many of which I don’t know. (And the local names I do know include Turk’s Cap and Piss-au-lit – not real helpful. It seems that most the people I meet here aren’t real up on native botany – even the birders.) Many of these pics are from the butterfly dome, so native butterfly friendly, and will be a great help when I finally DO have a house with yard here.

Sorry for the blurriness of some of the pics – I’m still working on that close-up skill.

And yeah, for the inevitable smart-ass question – yeah, I went to Grand Isle for the birding. But I can’t ever photograph birds well, so I don’t even try – but flowers, they stay still. Gotta love that.
