Garden flowers - as opposed to wildflowers, but (apart from a handful) these photos were not taken in MY garden.

Garden poppies

This beautiful sight is from an amazing homestead garden near Nanton, Alberta, belonging to Jim Coutts. Wish I looked out on to that view every day!

The usual bee

Sorry, just couldn't resist posting something bright, even though we all take similar photos - sunflower with bee! After too much grey weather, I needed to look at something cheery!

Ornamental Cabbage

Saw this Ornamental Cabbage in the rather fine gardens at Fort Calgary. They also have a wildflower garden next to their cultiavted garden.

Yellow

Another find at the Fort Calgary gardens. I was fascinated by the opening flower of this Zucchini - some interesting patterns and texture, not to mention colour.

Candy-striped Pinwheel

I was fascinated by the pinwheel at the centre of some of these flowers that I saw at the Reader Rock Garden in Calgary. I believe they are from the Mallow family. The pink and white stripes reminded me of candy rock in England when I was a young girl.

Hollyhocks

Think I got carried away a little today, photographing the insides of some Hollyhocks flowers. Someone has planted a circular garden outside their own garden fence, extending into North Glenmore Park. These Hollyhocks still had a few blooms on them.
