8/16 In Peg's Garden

Picture taken August 16th 2010

It isn't often that I venture out in my mom's garden anymore, but the dog took my shoe outside. After chasing him around for a half hour I gave up and looked around. Because of the deadly heat last week, most of the flowers are dead. The green leaves and various plans survived,  but the only break from the endless green were these flowers. I have to confess, I do not know what kind of flowers these are. The only think I do know about these flowers is that they are white. It is amazing to me that something so small, pretty and dainty can outlast everything else around it. They survived 110 degree heat, heavy thunderstorms and being "marked" daily by my dog. It is an underdog story in my own backyard.
