I don't know what I will use them for, but I take them anyway.
It pleases me.
It makes me feel creative.
And sometimes I even get some that I like.
This one is saved out to my Backgrounds directory at the moment, and I may even get some use out of it professionally. After all, some of those little yellow flowers look amazing close up and blown to make them full screen.
But never mind all that.
They're just pretty.
It's over at the nearby M.E. DePalma park.
Knowing M.E., I'm expect anything in there to be native, or at least "endemic". That endemic stuff, she works hard to keep out. Not knowing the difference, I just like the beauty.
Since I walk past the place a couple times a day, I'm able to take it in.
Having the flowers there, and the ever changing display, is one of many nice things about living in Wilton Manors.
But for now, I'm just enjoying the colors.
This picture was taken Mid September, so these blooms are long gone, but there are many others there.
I will say that my Monarch Butterflies are enjoying it too. The Mexican Milkweed that is in there is always eaten to sticks, just like in my backyard. Some of it may even be some that I planted, some not, but there are always a few nearby for the butterflies to eat. I'm able to sit in my dining room, look out the big picture window and eventually a Monarch will float past.
All because someone had the forethought, common sense, and appreciation of beauty to plant a garden on a corner property too small to put up Yet Another McMansion in the land named after flowers.
