Bloom Day

The 15th of the month right?

I am routine less and displaced. At times it is an incredibly freeing feeling. At other times the lack of a sense of control, of free floating through life, dependent on others is frightening. An evening stroll through the resident gardeners garden becomes a routine, a way to attach myself to a place.












A large patch of Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam' spills down a bank along the drive.















The White Asters are every where. I am not sure of the species. They are a clumping perennial with multiple erect stems up to three feet tall.

















A big Hydrangea flower head , most likely Hydrangea arborescens, flowers on a petite shrub. It seems like it should fall over from the weight.



















Asiatic Lilies in multiple colors and patterns can be found in several locations across the top of the mountain.

















And another.

















A large shrub of Golden St. John's Wort, Hypericum frondosum I think is loaded with buds and flowers.



















This Asiatic Lily wants to hang down.

The light quality here is decidedly different from that of Maui. The flash can go off automatically in the middle of the day. Evening time may be too late for good closeup pictures with less than steady hands and a tiny camera that moves by default when pressing the shutter button. Testing testing 1 2 3.
