Took a walk around the Gardens at Waters East yesterday on Sunday July 10th. Giving myself a close-up to check out what is blooming. Here are a few of the many blooms happening this day. No doubt there will be more posted in the days and months ahead!
ENJOY
Geranium - Splish Splash
Someone else checking out the garden!
Geranium
Potentilla - McKay's White
Dutchman's Pipe
The vine is so named because
the flowers resemble a pipe - think Sherlock Homes.
They are difficult to see because the large leaves cover them up.
The fast growing vine with large heart shaped leaves
was useful in years past to cover over porches
which helped to keep the area cool in summer before air-conditioning.
Monarch
Missouri Primrose
Flemish Poppy
False Sunflower
Elderberry
Delphinium
Geranium - Johnson Blue
Beautiful! It must feel so good to be home. I've only seen a few monarchs this season, so far. :(
ReplyDeleteYes, that is very true. Missed the place and the early signs of
DeleteSpring.
So much beauty.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so beautiful and you even managed to photograph a monarch. Congratulations, what a special butterfly.

There are so many that pass through the gardens here along the lake. The place is filled with milkweed which they love, and on which they lay. their eggs.
