To start the weekend, I share two pictures that illustrate well local nature. I saw this post by my Japanese friend Yurys. She photographed lotus in blooms at the Ueno Park in Tokyo. The view of that garden is absolutely stunning.
From Montreal
The yellow flowers from my garden seems pale compared to the lotus flowers but they represent our wildlife. These delicate looking perennial flowers are most resistant than they look. I put them on a planter last year. They bloomed again from my pot; I did not do anything to them last fall or this spring. The only thing was that the planter was always under the sun. As a bonus, the seeds fall from our balcony and we now have a row of yellow flowers next to the house. I could not tell you their name.

You perennials look just simply beautiful!
They remind me of sunflowers/daisies….I recently stopped by a a filed of sunflowers here and just had to photo them! They look divine at this time of year….The farmers even gave me a few for my party! 🙂
Bisous,
