One of the many joys of summer is enjoying the beauty of wildflowers.  We have had a lot of rain this year, so there are a lot of wildflowers in bloom.   Me and Miss P were out for our walk this morning, and found these beautiful specimens.

 

This looks like some sort of chive.   It’s a gorgeous shade of pale lavender.

These tiny daisy-like flowers are very hardy.   They bloom every year regardless of rain or the lack thereof.

Allium have these lovely triangular purple flowers.

 

Perhaps these are coreopsis, and they covered the hillside.

I have no idea what these weird alien-designed purple flowers are, I don’t ever remember seeing these in this color, they are usually white.

This was the only one in bloom in this field.

 

There were just a few clumps of these purple stalks.

We found all of these flowers growing in an un-mowed section of a city park.   These flowers just are, they were not planted, they are not watered.   I had fun photographing them and Miss P kept her nose to the ground to sniff out the creatures that had been here enjoying the flowers too.
