Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week we're back at the ABQ Botanic Garden to see what Summer flowers are blooming.
The dragon, and it's castle that welcome you to the garden is covered in greenery.
The Bee Balm, although a bit wilty, is so very colorful.
We think these lilies look like a sunburst.....
Especially with the sun behind them.
Mama's favorite, Lantana are looking fresh and pretty.
We have had some wonderful rainy days during this year' Summer "Monsoon Season". These rains have really helped the Summer blooms stick around.
These Straw flowers reminded us that it won't be long before Autumn gets here.
Roses are still blooming...
Orange ones....
Yellow ones....
....and beautiful red ones just for me and Aunty C!
We hope you enjoyed our look at the Summer blooms at the ABQ Botanic garden. Mama sure enjoys seeing all the beautiful colors!!
Here's to a weekend full of fun and enjoying nature!

ReplyDeleteThat pink yellow and white rose is unusual. My favorite is the bee balm (I've just planted some in my scents garden). And those staw flowers are an old-fashioned favorite (remind me of my grandmother). You look lovely in todays outfit Rosie.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful blooms! Mom can remember growing strawflowers and drying them for flower arrangements!
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of pretty flowers and sunny weather. We are stuck in smoke, storms, heat and humidity.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, the prettiest is the ROSY one ... we're sneaking our picture in, tho the closest June comes to "nature" is through her window!

You sure found lots of beautiful flowers at the botanic garden, Rosy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat all the flowers are! Thank you for sharing them, they made me smile (and so did the two canines hostesses).
ReplyDeleteImpossible to pick a favorite flower today!!! Everything is just gorgeous. Of course,Mom is partial to the roses shown here in all their glory. We had lantana planted in the deck planters, but something, maybe those pesky squirrels, kept eating all the flowers. Mom moved to the front and after all the heat and rain, they are just now starting to bloom. Thanks for all the beauty today, Rosy and Sunny.

Wow! Thanks for the pictures of those beautiful flowers, Rosy.
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to love in this post, dear Rosy. We especially loved that dragon but also that first rose and the gorgeous Lantana. Well done! Have a pawsome weekend.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful flowers sweet Rosy and I do love that dragon!
ReplyDeleteThe dragon made me do a double take.
