FLOWERS! FLOWERS! FLOWERS!

Although model train-geek husband discovered the can't-get-enough-of Model Railroad Garden (which is pretty cool!), my main goal for our recent visit to the Chicago Botanic Gardens was to delight in the summer flowers in bloom and take some close-up photos. I'm an avid photographer and flowers are some of my favorites subjects. I was not disappointed:

Devotion Blue Throatwort

Purple Coneflower

Flamethrower Dahlia

Prairie Sun Black-eyed Susan

Freckle Face Blackberry Lily

Agapantha

Hibiscus

Mystic Haze Dahlia

The Chicago Botanic Gardens are FREE to enter.
