Raindrops on “daisies” in Victoria Park
It’s time for another monthly visit to Victoria Park in Cardiff. In June all the flower beds were bare, in July they were full of colour, but in August the flowers are already fading. Here are my latest snaps…
The flower beds
Tobacco plant (Nicotiana sylvestris) is a new one this month
Smoothing out the sand on the beach volleyball courts
The Cordyline australis has now gone from white flowers to green berries…
…the berries
Castor oil plant (Ricinus communis)
Yellow “daisies”
Magenta petunias
The football (soccer) season has begun again
Lime/linden fruit
Dead tree…
…white fungus on dead tree…
…common fly on dead tree
Wild yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
Knopper gall on oak
Bandstand
Small maple
The lovely Rudbeckias are fading
Toadstool fungus in the grass
Fungus on a tree stump – looks like bubble gum or scrambled egg
Flower beds around the old water fountain canopy
At first I thought these leaves were Melianthus but now I look properly they are possibly cardoon?
That’s it for another month – see you in September…
