Want a "Quickie" ? Today 8.25.16

(All “Quickies” are photos taken and posted the same day)

These photos were taken this morning at the Gardens at Waters East. - - 8.25.16

I took a quick walk around the gardens before heading off to the library.  Summer is quickly fading. Autumn is beginning and the plants are now showing that the process is happening.  Once again – way too many photos to post - - so here are a few as a “sampling” of this day.

Enjoy

 Succulent in the Asian Patio

 Siberian Iris - seed heads ripening

 Rudbeckia & Artemisia

 Petunia & a hungry visitor

 Maybe someone out there in the "global garden village" knows the name of this one.

I can not seem to find it.  Leaves look very fern-like.

 Phlox

 Native - Cup Plant

 Butterfly - another visitor today

 Central Pot  in the Formal Garden

 Joy Pye Weed - and someone who is checking it out this morning.

 Pink Mallow

 Mallow Zabrina

 Love over the Fence

 Garlic Chives in bloom

 Overview - muted colors of Autumn

You would never know that the top half of this photo is Lake Michigan at the garden shore.

Lots of clouds this morning.

NOTE:   Since this Blog is meant to be an accurate journal of the gardens;

no photos are “staged”, “arranged”, or ”photo-shopped” in anyway.

What is posted – is what it here.  It is what it is.
