This is a photo of Candy Tuft. I planted seeds in my front flower bed, oh, 4 years ago and it keeps reseeding itself every year. I had originally thought that this flower was Scabiosa, but once the comments started coming in I realized that I’d made a mistake. oh dear!

Lynn, thank you so much for nominating me for the Blog Emmy award of Excellence. Wow. I’m not sure I really qualify for that one, but as the cliche saying goes “It’s just nice to have been nominated.” and it’s true. Thank you!
If anyone wants to vote for me … Lynn nominated me for the Excellence Award (design, writing, friendship etc). I’m up against some stiff competition so I could use a vote or two.
I nominated several bloggers in the various categories. (Mr. Fab (I was first Fab, Dutchie snuck in while I was writing my nominations), Shelli’s Sentiments, Lifecruiser, SugarFused, SugarSnaps, Bloggingchicks and TnChick.)
I just wish there were even more categories or awards so that I could have nominated more of you. There are so many great blogs out there, and wonderful people behind those sites too.
You have until 6 p.m. today to nominate your favorite bloggers for awards or to vote on those already nominated. See my last post for a link to the Blog Emmy Awards.

That is beautiful, Tricia. I thought the same thing about the name. It must be our nursing backgrounds.
Thank you so much for the nomination. That was really sweet.
Everytime I would come across your blog, it would be in BE or BM, and I couldn’t blogroll you from there, so I kept trying to remind myself to come back and blogroll you. Well, I finally did it so that I will be a more regular visitor now. I am still trying to catch up from being out of it with my migraine.
You are the best, Tricia.
NIce shot, never seen this flower I don’t think, but even if a weed of sorts it’s still a good flower, so why not enjoy!
Nice plant shot! Really pretty! I googled for more information. The white variety is also very stunning! Great share! My GTS is up. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Pretty flower!
Enjoy your Sunday and good luck with your nomination! I appreciate you thinking of me, Tricia :))
Very nice…. I like it!
I like the flower too.
I often make mistakes about naming plants.
I am not that interested in the flower name, but for the feeling I get from seeing it.
Tricia,
The award of excellence is about overal appearance of your blog, how much you involve the bloggosphere in your posts and commenting.
It is also for how much information you are able to share with the reader.
Simple memes are great fillers, but the dedication to the memes, the rappore you create for your readers in subjects and comments allows people to participate with you on almost a daily basis.
You have opened other blogs to satisfy other interests, and you have web sites you have long created that are all easy to find because of the layout of your blog.
Your marketing skills that put the bloggosphere in a great position to find your blog are great.
You also are creative enough to think of new ways to stimulate people with new memes and blogrolls.
You deserve the nomination.
Very pretty flower. I’ve never seen CandyTuft before. Love the name.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and Wishing you luck with your nomination!
Yea – it looks like Candy! Looks good enough to eat.
I never heard of the awards you mention – i’ll have to check it out.
