I brake for flowers

While the dahlias are at their peak in Carrie Blake Park the bees are making the most of the pollen they offer. It looked a little like a “Happy Days Are Here Again” party as sometimes multiple bees would land and work their ways across blossoms.

They were such pretty additions to the already gorgeous blossoms.

I learned on this trip that the dahlias at this garden, the Sequim Botanical Garden, are donated by Lee Bowen who deserves a big thanks. They’re a beautiful addition to the landscape.

While dahlias are front and center in the landscape right now there are also some gorgeous old fashioned roses. And healthy but slowly fading lavender.

It’s a nice place for humans — and insects — to visit for a flower fix.

  6. Hi Kay,

    I just wanted to stop back and say thank you for linking up your post. Pretty captures of the bee and blooms. Take care, enjoy your day! Happy weekend!

  8. So glad you stopped.
    Love all our community parks and the area’s volunteerism.
    My little yard has been frequented by birds as well as bees. At least 50 LBJs, mostly house sparrows, this morning.
    Enjoy the sunshine.

  9. Kay….Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos….your pictures made my day..I am Lee and have been growing dahlias at Bellevue Botanical Garden and Sequim Botanical Garden for 27 years. Dahlias are a “riot of color” and I enjoy sharing them with people and bees…

    1. Lee, they are such a bright and beautiful gift to Sequim! Thank you so much for your generosity!
