It has been amazing to discover all the new species of wildflowers that were sown this year at and around the lake. Yesterday, I discovered a cousin of a common weed, Thistle.Today, I found new blooms that seemed to have grown almost over night. These, were cousins of the peony poppy that were so stunning at the Water Filtration Building. Since seeing those, I have seen not only more of the pink but also have seen them in the purple that is almost like the thistle in color. However, unlike the so many other things, there is a big difference when seeing them up close.

| This little guy hangs out here. I first found him last season on a different bush. He seems to like this one better because he has a great viewing |
