I took these photographs of wild flowers in mid-September. Although they were beginning to fade they were still beautiful. The flowers were growing in a garden bed on municipal land in the downtown core. They caught my eye not only for their beauty but because they were the same variety of wild flowers you’d see growing along a country road. Although planted with some thought for colour and form they replicated what you’d see in nature. When I got closer, I was also pleased to see that they attracted bees and other insects just like their country cousins.

Nice wing detail on the bee, Belinda.
Glad to hear the city is using native plantings!

Wonderful! You could imagine that these flowers really ARE growing along the side of a country road.

Thank you. We still have a few hardy varieties but they’re fading fast.
