Before the rain.

After several weeks without a drop of rain.........some areas of the grass are turning brown and the perinnials are even needing a drink here and there. This vast agricultural area of Ontario will be on the brink of lesser yeilds if we don't receive some significant amounts of rainfall soon. It is on the greyer side just now, and I've taken in my lounger cushions for a touch of good luck.
These Tiger's are ready to burst forth. I find they look more like a vegetable than an exotic flower at this stage of their growth.
