After seeing various wildflowers that I recently posted, we dropped by the community garden at the museum to see more cultivated spring blooms. I don't mean community in the sense that random people plant gardens there but in the sense that the garden is planted and maintained by certain members of the community (the horticultural club, I think) and for members of the community to enjoy. It's not a grand place in scale, but it is a nice little spot.
The first photo that I took was of patch of grape hyacinths, aka muscari. I shot pointing downward and made a single flower my main focus. This ↓ is how the shot looked without any special editing applied.
It’s raining this morning and for the whole day it seems. The plan is that Danica will drop by with coffee and for lunch to complete Mother’s Day visits. She got hit by a bug over the weekend, but she is fine now.
We have huge community gardens, where people lease plots and plant various organic things, mainly veggies. I should go over and take some photos soon! Thanks for these little beauties.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have a community garden, and the flowers you've shown indicate what a lovely place it is.
ReplyDeleteGrape hyacinths and daffodils -- two of my spring favorites!
ReplyDeleteWow, they are dreamy! The bulbs obviously thrive with the winter cold - they do not look like that here. Nothing cheerier than a daffodil, and those tulips are perfect.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThose pink tulips are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love those tulips!
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers. And lovely that someone looks after them.
ReplyDeleteThe saturation of the blues/purples in the first image….. such beautiful color!

You already know that I adore tulips and those are gorgeous ones! I want them all.
ReplyDeleteThese are so very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and so cheery! It will be a nice visit with Danica. Glad her bug didn't last long. They are going around here too, daughter-in-law was down with one for a while.
ReplyDeleteGarden visits are fine. I have some coming up next month.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers! I'm glad Danica is better now.
ReplyDeleteHit by a bug?
ReplyDeleteSpring blooms are at their peak now.
ReplyDeleteOmg! I read that line as "she got hit by a bus over the weekend"...
ReplyDeleteReally pretty flowers! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteYour gentle wander through spring blooms, thoughtful photography, and the quiet comfort of a rainy day visit from Danica paints such a warm portrait of simple joys beautifully noticed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice garden. There is one here, but an old log cabin in a park. I must visit it soon.
ReplyDeleteSome day I may plant some more colorful tulips! I think I only have yellow and they get lost in the daffodils!
