Botanical Gardens Birthday Flowers

 

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and maybe share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week, we are going to look at what Summer looks like at the ABQ BioPark Botanical Gardens.

 

 

There are so many beautiful flowers of every color of the rainbow blooming right now. Above is one of Mama's favorite wildflowers, the blanket flower. These can be found everywhere during the Spring in Central Texas. The only place Mama has found them here is the Botanical Garden.

 

 

Here is some pretty pink Bee Balm

 

 

Another one of Mama's favorite,  Lantana

 

 

Here are a couple of Hollyhock flowers. The first year we lived here, we had a couple of Hollyhock plants in the front yard. They haven't bloomed since then though, Mama thinks they may have gotten some kind of bugs.

 

 

 

Blech...I hate bugs! 

(Unlike my silly sister who has been known to eat them) 

Anyway...back to the flowers

 

This is Prairie Night Bergamot, which is also in the Bee Balm family.

 

Here is a pretty Coneflower

 

 

 

 and some lacy Oak Leaf Hydrangea

 

Last, but not least is a nice Rosy Rose for my birthday.

 Thanks Mama!!

 

 

 I hope you enjoyed the Summer flowers at the Botanical Garden, aren't they colorful?

We are "disconnecting" today through Tuesday while we are glamping in CeCe. Mama has some posts scheduled, but we won't be around to comment again until next Wednesday. 

We sure hope you all get out to see some nature this weekend!
