A Walk Among Flowers On Bloom Day

I wake up in the morning to the vaporous stench of Voodoo














And come home in the evening to a Lemon Drop perfume.














There are flowers out there for a Bloom Day stroll. I'm going to try and focus on the flowers. I have gotten bad about that in favor of the soft-focus thematic view.














Liatris. They have called it Gayfeather.














Flowers are sprinkled like glitter all over the place.














Monarda the Beebalm














Purple Coneflower with Gooseneck Loosestrife and a big bee.














Lots and lots of daylily about. Not enough to satisfy some people.














Lucifer Crocosmia














A meadow swimming in red Beebalm.














In the early evening sun.














Plenty Daylilies.














Dill and a red truck.














Purple phlox














The Liatris has been self-sowing. I found a huge patch of it across the byway up the hill in the neighbor's land.














Blackberry Lily













The Oak Leaf Hydrangea has a pungently sweet scent.














The wand of Black Cohosh in the forest.














The Shredded Umbrella Leaf in bloom.














Rudbeckia fulgida is all over the place.














Lavendar Beebalm.














Fly Poison














The sweet fragrance of lillies join in.














It's all out there in the wild cultivated gardens.

Hi Phillip. The Oak Leaf like the H. paniculata have a sickeningly sweet fragrance that is a lot like a cake with frosting that is pure thick sugar. It can be strong enough to get me to sneezing.
