I had to stop and take more pictures when I was leaving school today. Those zinnias out front are still blooming like mad and butterflies were
everywhere. Granted, the bottoms of some of the longest flower stalks are looking brown and dried up, but there are still lots of fresh new blossoms around. These flowers grew from seed and started blooming in May and here it is, October. They looked great all through the heatwaves and drought of the summer when lesser flowers would have given up the ghost. I
must grow zinnias next summer!
There were about 10 butterflies enjoying the flowers and the sun when I took these photos. It's a nice way to end the workday, walking past these beauties....
Wonderful images Jennifer! Well done!

ReplyDeleteZinnias are the happiest flowers and also, some of the hardiest. I love them almost as much as the butterflies.
