Do you know the saying April showers bring May flowers? We definitely have May flowers around and it is making me think of some beautiful pictures of flowers I have shared before.

I have been seeing a lot of California Poppies along the road during my commute so thought of this beautiful picture. I took this picture in the Dublin cemetery.

At this time of year there are always a lot of beautiful iris around. One of these years I am going to plant some here at home. However, I always think about it when it is not planting season.

Since I really like them, here is a yellow iris.

Of course, I have some beautiful roses in my yard that bloom all year so maybe I don’t need any more flowers 🙂

In my back yard I have a nice agapanthus, but it blooms later in the year. I have been watching for the first stalks to appear, but nothing so far.

With all the April showers we should have a lot of good May flowers. I will be watching out for some good photo opportunities 🙂

What are your favorite May flowers?
