The Anti-Green Thumb

I have to admit it.  I am obsessed with taking pictures of flowers.  I do not have a green thumb.  I cannot stress this enough.  I have killed cacti (note the plural) before.  However, just because I can't grow them doesn't mean I can't enjoy and appreciate them.  My mom, my stepmom and my grandma all have a way with flowers.  Most of the following beauty shots were taken in my mom's backyard, my stepmom's garden and my grandma's balcony.  It is amazing what my grandma can pull off with a limited amount of space.  I am envious of these women and their green thumbs.  Apparently, it seemed to skip my generation.
