Gardens and parks across the city are filled with flowers and blooming plants through the summer, and this one's been pretty good for them. In these parts in July, what I've always thought of as snowball bushes start to bloom. This one is outside the Lord Lansdowne retirement home in the Glebe. As of the moment, where one finds them in the city, these bushes are doing quite well.
These flowers were up in Dundonald Park.
The flowers in these two shots could be found at homes in the downtown core.
These sunflowers are by a restaurant in the city core.
While down at Dow's Lake, this gives you a look at what gets planted in Commissioner's Park after the tulips are gone. You may remember that stone wall.
they're all lovely.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post today.
ReplyDeleteAll the flowers and green, so beautiful.
Not sure if that would last here in Tucson it was a rather brisk 102.
hahahahahahahahaha
cheers, parsnip

ReplyDeleteLove those 'snowball' bushes William, could they be hydrangeas......
ReplyDeleteNice. I have a thing for hydrangea. And lilies.
ReplyDeleteAbsorbing all the colours for the stark whites of winter!
ReplyDelete@Tex: I certainly thought so!
ReplyDelete@Parsnip: we've had a few hot days, but nowhere near that high.

@Siddhartha: thanks!
@Cloudia: thank you!

@Jack: my favourites are tulips, which of course are only around briefly.
