Say it with flowers

For this post I will share a few shots of flowers, for no other reason than I have taken many photos of flowers since they started blooming and felt like sharing some

But that said this post will cover two challenges
Beautiful Sunday By @ace108,
Who can deny the beauty of flowers and how seeing them blooming and so colorful isn't a thing of beauty

and
Sublime Sunday, created by @c0ff33a,
Sublime because of the lovely and not so subtle colors of nature.
I know some are greta with knowing the names of all kinds of flowers, but thats not me, I call this a yellow and orange flower,

Now I do know these are coneflowers, as they are the official flower of the city I live in. now even though this one is showing some damage I think it is still beautiful, some only see the beauty in things that they perceive as perfect, but even damaged or less than perfect I feel everything has beauty in it sown right.

Now another flower the same type as in the first photo but just one on its own this time, I actually came out at the time I got these shots top get some shots of Monarch butterflies, which may be an hour or less earlier I had seen many of them all around these flowers, but I did not have my camera with me, but when I came back out not one butterfly was anywhere to be seen, they do tease me like that LOL
