If the title stands true, a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, herein find a bouquet of laughter.

And because I took ill yesterday and failed to celebrate the birthday of my beloved LD, consider this the handful of flowers I took to her digitally in recognition of her special day.  She deserves at least that much…

Firewheel (a.k.a Indian blanket or blanket flower; Gaillardia pulchella)

Red zinnia (Zinnia elegans)

Texas bindweed (Convolvulus equitans)

Western horsenettle (Solanum dimidiatum)

Mexican hat (Ratibida columnaris)

Musk thistle (a.k.a. nodding thistle; Carduus nutans)

I hope you enjoy the laughter as much as I…
