This Poor Poor Pearl is so battered that it is hard to tell what it is. I suspect a clematis, but I am very willing to be corrected. Tattered and ragged as it is, I still found it intriguing.

Twisted Sister: Columbine
(For my definitely-not-twisted sister Patti on her birthday. I never see columbines without thinking of mother, do you? This one is from our friend Patty’s garden.)

Marigolds, lobelia and cockscomb fill in around weathered wood in my friend Patty’s back yard. Thanks to a big wind that blew down her back fence, patio and part of her roof, her gorgeous yard is fully viewable from the major street that runs by the back of her house.

Water-logged or sun-dried, this hibiscus is one of my favorite sights of the day.

More buds from the Budweiser Brewery gardens.
This is one of the flower boxes at the Budweiser Brewery in Ft. Collins, CO that we toured today. The clydesdales were out on tour, but the flowers were present and out in full force. These were my favorites, but elsewhere there were day lilies, alyssum, cannas, roses and a number of other flowers.
