This morning, after church, I decided to walk through the park back to town as CBC was supposed to be picking me up and was still cycling. Despite the fact we are now in October, the wildflower meadow was still going strong! I can scarcely believe we are now in October and the flowers are still growing as beautifully.
Talking to a gent who was probably around 45ish, he told me that the flowers are all self-seeded now and they just grow in the park every year. This surprised me as I thought many of these were just annuals.
Do you spy a bee bottom? She's getting right into the petals!
The honey bees were all buzzing contentedly from flower to flower only occasionally moving because of the human with the camera.
Such beautiful blues.
I'm not usually a pink girl, but the pink of these beauties really captivated me.
Bluey purple was probably the most prevalent colour here but don't be fooled into thinking that there wasn't a variety.
This vivid yellow and orange flower was one of a few which were nestled beneath taller breeds and was rather hard to reach.
When I see Cosmos flowers, it reminds me of preparing for my wedding.
I ate one of these Borage flowers! Did you know that they taste of cucumber?
It's hard to tell from this picture but I think it is the Stigma which is such a striking blue shade in the middle!
It is so hard to capture what you see with your eye- but I like the variety in this picture.
There's plenty of colours and examples here.
For some reason, these make me think of face paints!
Can you spy the little girl wandering amongst the flowers?
Such a display makes my heart sing.
What a jolly but delicate-looking bloom!
And fine lace.
These pink flowers are just perfect!
I really liked the shadow of the Cosmos foliage upon these two beauties.
Again, a real assortment of flowers here vying for attention.
The honey bees were really difficult to capture.
We began with the back-end of a bee and we shall finish with one too!
What an exquisite half an hour I had there!
Do you have anything similar nearby?
