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.
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.
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.
Fly Poison
The sweet fragrance of lillies join in.
It's all out there in the wild cultivated gardens.

All beautiful - I did not know that oakleaf hydrangea had a fragrance!
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.
