The Other Flowers

For those who have been following along, I can report that I am now untethered. We wait to determine whether the plumbing will work as it should.

===================

While I did have irises chiefly in mind at the museum garden, once I was done with them, I photographed other flowers too. These are not phone photos, but I did use the iPhone to get some information. This first flower was  identified as Milk Thistle, and I like the photo a lot. In fact, I think I am liking these photos better that yesterday's iris photos, which had been what drew me there. You just never know what is going to look best in the photos.

I knew the identity of next flower although I did feel the need to verify my identification. It is a cranesbill or geranium which is not the same as the annuals that are called geraniums but that are really pelargoniums. Incidentally, that is a name that I, somehow, dredged from my memory banks from when I was doing more gardening a quarter century ago. Truth be told, however, I did doublecheck online to verify.

I needed help to i.d. this next flower. I turns out that it is a phlox, but not the tall kind of the summer garden.

I have one more flower to post, but it is not from the museum garden. I stopped at a house that I passed on the way because this clematis impressed me so much, not just for it's closeup beauty but because of how it was situated off a corner of a verandah very near the sidewalk. I saw it in passing and had to drive around a long block to get back to it.

This ↓ is how it looked when I drove by and why I had to go back for a closer look, but it was the closeup ↑ that resulted in the better photo. Still, it was a most agreeable view from the street.
