….not exactly a flower but lovely to look at none the less


….not exactly a flower but lovely to look at none the less


…..these beauties appear all over the neighbourhood

…..in late summer this delicate and lacy wild flower goes to seed


….my newest dahlia


…..a giant tall wildflower or weed that is abundant along the road going to the cottage


…..despite the heat and lack of rain my established rose of Sharon bloomed like crazy

…..one of the few new flowers from my garden
Going away at the beginning of the summer and the unusually hot and dry weather didn’t fare well for any new bulbs that I planted this spring. The only flower that bloomed was my dahlia.


……from my neighbour’s garden up the road from the cottage

…..when in bloom this plant provides a major source of food for bees and butterflies
