Neighborhood lilies.
Butterfly weed, and I don't know what the purple bell thing is. You see it growing in places that make it look like a weed..... But these plants are a more vivid purple than you sometimes see. Maybe they just love it in this yard.
I googled for purple bell flower michigan weed and found creeping bellflower, which looks just like this.
Ok. Butterfly weed, and creeping bellflower.
Closeup of creeping bellflower.
Daylily.
We can't see the plant here, at all. Just the starry flowers. I think this is a sedum.
How nice, to look down at the ground and see it covered with stars!
Pretty sure this is a hydrangea, but it's pretty floppy. It does have a LOT of flowers, which are all wet (and so are heavy).....
I don't remember seeing little pentagonal bud things on hydrangeas. I bet they are buds, but don't know.....
Cosmos.
Yarrow.
Teen weeny little bell-shaped flowers.
Here's a look at the whole plant. It's got nice ferny sort of foliage....
I've been thwarted so far this year, getting a nice clear shot of milkweed flowers. This is as close as I have come. I had no idea, when I took the pics, that the flowers were crawling with ants. They do smell good, so I can imagine they have something tasty to reward insects for visiting.
They have really different and interesting flowers. Milkweed and butterfly weed flowers have this same distinctive shape.
Baby coneflower.
Another sedum. The flowers are the same shape as those yellow ones we looked at earlier, but the foliage is not the same, I think.
Hydrangea.
I have no idea what this is. The plant is sort of odd -- leaves at the bottom and then this really skinny flower stalk.
The flowers are sort of odd, too, with that fuzzy door mat thing and then stripes inside the entrance, leading the insects in.....
