Flowers

I finally made it back to he Menahga Memorial Gardens.  The last time I was there the Crabapples were blooming.

Menahga Memorial Gardens August 2016

Of course I was too late for the roses.

Menahga gardens

They have a few large Hydrangeas.  Some walkways are lined with Celosia, Gazania and Ageratum.  Others are lined with Petunias and Profussion Zinnias.

In my opinion the Zinnias are doing great.

Profusuion Zinnias

Not your Mothers old Zinnia that is for sure.

There were a few Daylilies blooming.  This garden is a work in progress and is totally done by volunteers.

I enjoyed my walk around.  I sat for a short time and enjoyed the shade of the gazebo.

  3. Some of these places are well worth while going back to and seeing the development during the season.

  4. I am always happy to see the flowers and their official names-which of course I won't remember - but it is fun to see them anyway. You have so much knowledge about plants.

  9. In an area where the climate can be harsh, tending a garden such as this is an exercise in faith. Very pretty.
