It was a nice walk at the Botanic Garden, but it’s hot and humid and now we’re both wiped out.

Rhododendron (The WV State Flower!)

Bird’s Foot Trefoil (Lotus cornicilatus)

Sweet clover (Melilotus)

Coreopsis (Tickseed)

I love day lilies. I think it’s because they so exuberant. I have multiple cultivars (they don’t all bloom at the same time, so even without the Stella D’Oros I have about a month of day lilies).

I have lots of hostas not because I love them, but because they grow in shade, which I have a lot of, and they’ll thrive.

Visitor at the hostas.

Because I have so much shade, I also have several varieties of fern.

Here are the ubiquitous Stella D’Oros. These get put anywhere I want to ignore.

And two of the other day lily varieties blooming now.

Most of these are from Seneca Rocks and environs.

Irises are kind of embarrassing to look at, when you think about what flowers really are.

Some flowers are from my house, some from the WV botanic garden, and one from the WVU arboretum.

It may have been raining in Morgantown, but New River Gorge was beautiful.

Here are some flowers we found on our hike.

Some flowers that were blooming while we were in Baltimore over the weekend.
