Great looking shot ! The picket fence in the background really sets off the blooms, making them stand out.

Haven't seen or smelled these in years. Had some in our yard when I was in high school in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately they will not grow this far south. Lucky you to have such gorgeous ones.

Lovely flower, but also what a magnificent blue sky - past couple of days have been glorious up here - like summer - looks like you have had the same.
