Lily Pad Drinks

Lily pads growing in a large container in Locke Memorial Park.

It was rather warm, even the wasps were thirsty.

Spring Flowers from Preston Castle, Ione California

.
Back in April, 2013, Man and I visited Preston Castle in Ione California thanks to the coordinators of the MOC Spring Rally.  I blogged about that visit on Reflections the other day.

There was a small, but, very pretty, garden along side the building, and I snapped a few of the spring flowers in bloom, and since we can never get enough spring flowers in bloom, here they are, a few months late, just before fall hits here in SE Michigan.

You know I love this one, Iris AND purple.

Amaryllis, something I have never grown in my gardens, but, ohhh, so lovely.

Let's get just a bit closer, bold and stunning.

Mr G, catching the big one. Now, if he could just see it.  SIGH, old age, and he is now blind.

A Gate Full of Hydrangea

.
Mackinaw Island, August 2013

This gate is covered in hydrangea, or what I thought was hydrangea.  It was spectacular!
