Wildflowers on the Rock Ledge

Today's garden moment happened on the rocky ledge behind --and below--my garden.  A neighbor told me the lupines and foxgloves were blooming. It was an overcast day, so I grabbed my camera and took a walk down below.  Here is what I saw:

Rosa rugosa blooms partially opened

and fully opened.

Coreopsis in bud and bloom.

Lupines (Lupinus) on the rock ledge

and on the more gentle slopes in a meadow-like setting.

And a lupine landing site!

There were foxgloves (Digitalis) in protected nooks on the ledges.

The blooms are unique and easily identifiable.

Some wildflowers I could not identify as easily.

There were Sweet Williams (Dianthus) everywhere

In many colors.

But best of all were the native mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia)

just blooming today.
