Flowers along the path

Many flowers and many paths, actually. For the past couple of weeks, I've been enjoying a stay-at-home, project-oriented, gardening-focused vacation.

Here are a few photographs of my favourite floral finds from recent long walks (another favourite vacation activity):

In June as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. 
No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them. 
~Aldo Leopold


Happy June, everyone. What's blooming in your gardens & neighbourhoods now?
