Online Doctor Prescription Tramadol I found this charming dahlia at Olbrich Gardens yesterday morning while taking the last few photographs for a big project. I had to stop and take a break from “Big Project” — which is more than I bargained for anyway — so I could photograph this dainty dahlia.

source link When I checked the flower’s  ID plate, I laughed out loud. Her name is “Be Happy” Dahlia — how great is that? This is the kind of flower that just begs you to smile and start humming a happy tune. I’m not much of a heart lover, but I do love the little hearts tucked into the petals. They seem perfectly placed, and match the flower-induced smile.

Gaillardia, or Blanket Flower, is a perennial that has brightly colored, daisy-like flowers.

go to link They are typically found in a bright red and yellow combination. Easily grown, different varieties of blanket flower can be grown almost anywhere in the contiguous United States.

go here Sometimes I am careful in choosing which flowers I photograph. I will look for flowers that do not have large blemishes or insect damage, and I will try to photograph so that the flowers that are past prime are not in the photograph. But I decided to include flowers in all stages — from bud to seedhead — in this photograph of a mounded blanket flower. I am most fond of the composition, though I also like seeing the different stages of the flower.

here The leaf may look lacy and rather pretty, but the source of the damage to this leaf–and millions more like it–is neither lacy nor pretty. The culprit is the Japanese beetle.  The beetles eat the soft material between the veins which gives the leaves a lacy effect.

source url Since first found in the United States in New Jersey in 1916, it has slowly migrated south and west, arriving in northern Illinois and Wisconsin 10-15 years ago. The beetle is found in every state east of the Mississippi except for Florida, and is capable of damaging a variety of vegetation including crops, weeds, and dozens of species of ornamental trees.

The Japanese beetle — not my friend! Whenever I see a beetle in my garden, I pick it off the plants and drop it into a pot of soapy water. It only partially helps, but at least I feel like I am doing something to protect my garden without resorting to potent sprays and poisons.

Three Cosmos

One looks, looks long, and the world comes in. ~ Joseph Campbell

Cosmos were originally grown in Mexico and South America.

It was common for priests to grow them in their mission gardens because it was a reliable and easily tended flower. Cosmos have even petals around a crowned center, and so the priests called the flowers “Cosmos”, Greek for harmony or an ordered universe.

I love the idea that cosmos is named for its orderliness, and that such as wondrous word — cosmos — means something as simple as orderly.

I also love that a field of cosmos is anything but orderly. The many-colored flowers – hues of white, light and dark pinks, and reds – grow on very long stems. In a breeze, cosmos tumble and tangle together. I think a meadow of cosmos, swaying in a light wind, is one of the most inspiring scenes imaginable.

Plus it is almost impossible not to smile when watching the cosmos’ wave at me!

I think a waving field of cosmos is one of the prettiest late summer happenings!

Look at everything as if you are looking at it for the first time or the last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory. ~ Betty Smith

Cosmos are one of the first of the last flowers of the Wisconsin blooming season.

When the cosmos bloom, it is never long before the trees begin to show their autumn colors.

This is one of my favorite photographs of these cosmos, especially since they signal a change of seasons to me. I focused on the seedhead of the flower, the petals already blown away, the center shriveled and dry. But in the background, out of focus, is the fully in bloom flower, lending its summery colors to the photograph.

The cycle of life continues, the garden always a visible reminder.
