Iberis sempervirens

"Candytuft," according to our landscapers.

I took the photo using a Canon EOS 10D camera with a Compact-Macro 50mm f/2.5 lens.

Scabiosa

A 'perennial pincushion flower,' according to our landscaper, Lesley Peters.

Pearl (our dog) walks by these flowers on her way out the front door for her walks. If I don't get a good grip on her leash, she bites their heads off.

These flowers attract little white butterflies with spots on their wings.

I took the photo with my new digital camera, a Canon EOS 10D, using the Canon Compact-Macro 50mm f/2.5 lens.
