Bugs in Blooms (Part 2)

I  thought about doing this project for many months.  It has grown to be a real eye-opener.  For starters, I needed to  organize of all my photos, a daunting task.  Once I started making new folders it became clear to me  how many sub-folders I could conceivably incorporate. Folders for yard flowers, wild flowers, show flowers (like those grown at Shore Acres).  Or do I use the color of the blossom for a separate folder?  One stumbling block  is the issue of trying to identify each flower. I took advantage of the Glide Wildflower Show in April when the doors were  opened early  for photographers. Of course, this resulted in even more photos!  I usually get caught up somewhere along the way and it seems like I don't make much headway.  I have found some tiny bugs and spiders I did not even realize were there.
