A Serendipitous Garden Find
After my physio in Owen Sound this morning, we picked up our usual healthy lunch of burgers, fries, onion rings and root beer, and headed down to the bay to find nicer spot to sit and eat it than the parking lot of A&W. (At least it was a small fries, onion rings and pop!) We ended up in the parking lot of the Bayshore Centre, looking out over the blue waters of the sound.
Right outside the car was an enticing trail, and it was even paved. It actually runs out of town and becomes the Grey County CP Rail Trail, but we didn't go that far because we got distracted by the garden we found.
We headed down the trail and suddenly found ourselves beside a nice garden - the garden had paved pathways too! What a nice bit of serendipity! So we spent a fair while enjoying the garden.
Here are those nice glowing poppies, on fire in the sun.
There were several beautiful Iris.
Slightly more purple than blue.
We actually did not know these pretty blue bells, but they were very pretty.
The Lady's Mantle weren't in bloom yet, but their leaves catch and hold rain drops beautifully.
Bachelor Buttons - I love the details of the flowers. A few more flowers tomorrow. You can be sure we'll be going back here!

ReplyDelete(I'm glad it's almost dinner time :)
Very pretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a few years since I've had onion rings.
That's certainly a garden worth a return visit. That doesn't sound like a "heart healthy" lunch, but the taste buds must have been ecstatic -- mine would pass on the root beer in favor of plain old water.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden. I'd love to take a walk through it!!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty flowers, the colours are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
What a great find...I would be wanting to visit this place quite often. That Lady's Mantle really has pretty leaves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find! I'll bet we'll be seeing pictures from all the seasons, so I'm glad we're starting on the first day of summer! :-)
ReplyDeleteA bit of garden-therapy to follow the physio - sounds an ideal arrangement.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours, burnt orange, Blue bell blues,and more.
ReplyDeleteHello, beautiful garden and flowers. Wishing you a happy day and weekend.
ReplyDeletei think you picked the perfect meal, you only live once and a burger with fries is awesome eating!! the garden is gorgeous, lots of purple which happens to be my favorite color!!!
ReplyDeleteI know that great feeling inside when one unexpectantly stumbles upon some of Mother Natures wonderful works of art and colors. Kinda like finding a treasure. Yes that A&W lunch sounds right up my alley but as I am getting wider the alley is getting narrower. Nice for you to get up close to those flowers.
ReplyDeleteA nice collection of flower photos. The flowers all look familiar except the bluebell ones.

ReplyDeleteI’m from USA am here to give my testimony about Dr Robinson who helped me cure my HERPES (HSV), i want to inform the public how i was cured from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS), i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which is very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. Three months ago a friend suggested that I try herbal medicine; from a very powerful herbal doctor called (Dr.Robinson) I looked up his blog on the internet site and indeed he have had immense success with his product. There were lot of persons posting their testimony about how he cured them. when i contacted him he gave me hope and send a Herbal medicine to me that i took and it seriously worked for me, my HERPES result just came out negative. (Robinson.buckler (@ yahoo). com 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 I must admit ( ( Robinson.buckler) ) is really a genuine man when it comes to getting an ex lover back
