Flowers

 Morning Glories

 More Morning Glories

Canary Bird Vine behind which you can see Night Scented Stalks (for the 3rd year in a row)

I am amazed that the stalks have re-seeded themselves for three years, but, I suspect next year they will be trying to grow in the lawn and won't be given a chance to grow. I will try to get some seeds and throw them further back in the bed and see what happens. I suspect human intervention will make sure they don't come back though.

Thanks for looking.

Elk Island Day trip


 Well, more of an afternoon trip.


We saw Alberta Roses in bloom,
 

 and pretty white flowers.
 

Pretty butterflies!


2 of the only 4 Bison we saw.


and now a spot on my lens.


I'll be back with more in a few days.

Thanks for looking.

Flowers & Thumper

I decided that a fuchsia would look nice in my hanging basket this year. It was as I was planting it that I noticed it was called "Upright" something. Go me!

  
Some lobelia will trail over the sides though :)

This white begonia came with this pink attached - bonus!

 I think this is the flax I planted last year (seeds) - supposed to be an annual and I think I weeded it out last year. (shakes head)

 Another one I weeded out last year - columbine - another annual!

  
And finally Thumper, hiding under my lily after I watered him behind the flax and bleeding heart. I was sure he wouldn't be back after I sprayed him with the jet setting on my watering nozzle a couple of days ago.


Thanks for looking.

Flowers

Rock Soapwort

The last couple of Campenulas (not what I was aiming for)

(what I was aiming for) sucks not to be able to crouch and look through the viewfinder ;)

Not sure if this Begonia will bloom

This one is pretty though.

Still trying to catch a lilly at its best time, with all the rain - no luck so far, but I have plenty of buds yet.

Thanks for looking.

Begonia

I haven't had begonias in a few years and this one caught my eye with it's beautiful colour.

Have a good day.
