FINALS-A Sparkle of beauty

Hello guys,
          Guess what? It's finals this next three days and I'm scared (especially of math and English and MATH). But I took the time yesterday to take some pictures and here there are. Many of them are flowers and plants, but I have not find the names for some of them. I will try to do so later after I'm done taking all five tests.
      Anyway enjoy, and good luck! God Bless you all!
