Can we have a moment for the flowers that spawn our garden vegetables?  I mean, we give so much lip service and attention to the final product… our delicious heirloom tomatoes, beans, squash.  While the modest little veggie flowers go somewhat unappreciated.  And they’re so self-sacrificing… living this short life just to be pollinated, shrivel, and die giving birth to the vegetable or fruit that’s coming through.  So today I decided to snap some shots of my blooming garden and pay tribute to the flowers of vegetables.
