So many flowers!

I had expected rhododendrons, and there were some in their glory, but there were also many other glories.

Violet radial

 What a color!

Flowers from Friends

It's taken a while since my move  into my now code-compliant home to have all of my friends over (schedule battleship is a game no one wins), but by planning an event in November (!!), I got 2 out of 3 pals from a particular group over on the same day, and they brought lovely flowers.  (And gluten-free madeleines - my first time trying those, which are dangerously good!)

Presidio in Bloom (16 July)

 It truly is summer!

San Mateo Roses (11 June)

 The San Mateo rose garden is bursting with color.

Golden lily (5 June)

 So warm!

Pale yellow succulent blooming (26 April)

 I've been working long days plus weekends, so my posting is of lower quantity!

Moth orchid in bold color (26 June)

 

Summer hydrangeas

 Hello, neighborhood freshness (and spring-colored houses).

Signs of summer

 

Bees and Roses

I have many more images of bees (or yellow jackets, or other bee-adjacent insects) hanging out in roses, but they aren't all smiling for the camera, so I'm not sharing them all here.

A red-fuchsia beyond the range of sensors

Apricot fog rose

Glowing flowers

Pink beyond fuchsia

I know I get excessive in my celebrations of spring, but today I think I was celebrating summer... until it got too warm, and I had to flee the sunlight.

Bird of paradise in the city

Bird of the City doesn't have the same ring to it.

Now, with a third red flower which waited until April to arrive in my garden!
