This is a photo of my purple Orchid. All three of my Orchids are now in bloom, but this one is the prettiest with it’s purple lines on white petals. I think it looks a bit like a very ornate butterfly – don’t you?
Bumble Bees and Wild Flowers
These are some more wild flowers that my husband and I saw on our hike in Taylor Creek Park here in Toronto. The flowers look like they might be some kind of Aster.
The bumble bees were all over the flowers and I managed to catch one collecting some of the flowers pollen.
Purple Jewelweed
I think this flower is Jewelweed.
Chris and I were on a hike in the woods here in Toronto and growing beside the bank of a shallow creek I there were several clumps of these flowers.
They had such a delicate light purple color! Simple gorgeous. Bumble Bees were hovering around the flowers collecting pollen.
Purple Delphinium
This delphinium grows like a weed in my garden. It either spreads or reseeds itself so well that each year I have to pull out several new plants just to keep this flowering plant under control in my garden.
Still, it’s a lovely flower isn’t it? Droopy little purple bell shaped blossoms.
