Springfield Botanical Garden – June 2022 (2)

June is the month the lilies start to bloom and the beds at the Springfield Botanical Garden lived up to my expectations. The leaves were a rich green….there were lots of buds and plenty of flowers. Some of the beds had wire fencing; do the deer (or some other animal) only eat some of the lilies? I didn’t find a bed of the bright orange lilies that often grow wild along roadsides…the lilies here are the fancier kind: frilled petals, double petals, lots of different colors (even green!). Enjoy the slide show of the summer lilies.

I wonder if there will be some left in July. Now that I am a resident of the area, I am setting a goal for myself to visit the place at least once a month.
