FOTD: “Mystic Illusion” Dahlia from the Back!

August 28, 2022August 28, 2022 / amoralegria / 2 Comments

Yesterday, for Cee’s FOTD, I posted the most amazing dahlia, called “Mystic Illusion” which I photographed while at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Here are dahlias from that same patch, from the back. They don’t even look real!

FOTD: Ironweed

August 19, 2022August 18, 2022 / amoralegria / 1 Comment

Ironweed is a plant native to northern Illinois and its purple flowers attract butterflies due to its bright color as well as the plant’s abundant nectar. It grows among the grasses and other plants along the edge of one of our ponds here at The Moorings.
