Chris and I took our puppy over to SunnyBrook Park yesterday so that she could see the horses they keep there.
While we were in the huge park we took a walk along a nice stream and Midnight, her water loving self, had to jump in the water!
I stayed on the bank and wandered around taking pictures of both Chris and the dog in the shallow water. I was also doing my best to fight off a hoard of mosquitoes! I wasn’t happy about that!
While I was taking pictures I noticed a few clumps of flowers. I’m not sure what they are, but they’re lovely:
The plants grow to 2.5 to 3 feet tall and grow in clumps. They look like this:
The area they were growing in was kind of shady at 5 in the afternoon. I have no idea if it gets bright light in the morning but I suspect there’s more light earlier in the day than when we were there.
Anyone have any idea what kind of flower this is? (Reminder I’m in Toronto – USDA zone 5b, just in case you need some climate info to help me figure this out.)
