Description
I really think these flowers could just be named Joy! To me they just look like celebration and happiness. They especially bring joy because they are an early bloomer in my Ohio garden. They are fulfillment of a promise; being planted in the Fall. They are hope; of warmer weather and more flowers to come. They are simple beauty and elegance. They uplift my spirit!
(Information from Michigan Bulb Co:) These beautiful blue flowers rise in open spikes of star blossoms, filling the gap between spring and summer displays. The plant is drought tolerant, giving the garden a refreshing, healthy look while using much less water. As a native plant, it grows in difficult areas, including heavy clay soil. Camas Lily, also known as Wild Hyacinth or Indian Lily, is also culturally significant—perfect for both the busy gardener and the history buff. It is an excellent naturalizer, and could be found in the wilds of Idaho, spreading out across a prairie like a lake of cool blue water. It was an important source of sustenance for American tribes and a staple in the Nez Perce diet for thousands of years. We do not suggest eating Camas Lily, however, as Death Camas tends to grow with it—a variety equally as beautiful but poisonous to eat.
Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!

Reminds me of a glorious firework, or the Blue Angels doing one of their starburst formations. Either way, nothing but pure joy. when a picture makes your mind wander to different places, it has succeeded in becoming more than the sum of its parts...So great Karen...:-)
