There are so many people who take great pride in making their front gardens look lovey that it is easy to find many beautiful flowers to take photos of while you are out for a walk.
There was an elderly woman and man tending to their flowers and an invitation was extended to go around to see their back garden and take photos there. They were particularly proud of the roses but were not certain that, as they are now in their 80s, they would be able to continue caring for the flowers much longer, It's not often the people in the city invite a stranger into their private space!
She wanted to be certain that this blossom was included in a photo
Closer to Lake Michigan, this little bumble was on a swamp milkweed flower.
Native milkweed is the exclusive host plant for monarch caterpillars. Monarch caterpillars can only eat milkweed, and the adult butterflies lay their eggs on milkweed plants.
More early summer blooms.
