Flower Tour of my Town

I had to go downtown today (a five-minute walk from where I live), to buy an anniverary card for my daughter and son-in-law. I stopped in at my local library to pick up a book I had requested. 

On my way home I saw these and couldn't resist taking a picture. These are my favourite lilies.

Then I had the idea to notice and photograph some of the other flowers around my little town. Once I started looking for them, I saw that they are everywhere!

Come with me on my walk back to my house.

These petunias and osteospermums are in a flower box at the base of a directional sign.

The hanging baskets on the lightposts are immense. (How come mine don't look this good?)

I love old roses, don't you? They smell divine. I found this one tumbling over someone's back fence.

Down the lane a bit I came upon these fuzzy flowers. I don't know what they are called, do you? If you can identify them, please leave a comment below. I'm curious.

I love the contrast of colours in this tub of osteospermums and petunias.

That's all I have time to upload today. I have to grab some lunch then spend the afternoon with my novel-writing client putting the final touches on her manuscript and developing a publishing strategy.
