October sunflower

Came across this guy soaking up the late afternoon sun. Still going strong in mid-October!

I can always count on something at Olbrich Botanical Gardens to brighten up a dreary day.

Even when a flower isn’t the prettiest, the butterfly finds nourishment there. Another lesson from Mother Nature.

Catching up on some flower photos from this month. First, a moonflower after a rain shower.

Just after a recent rainstorm at Olbrich Botanical Gardens.

The most common wildflower blossoming in northern Wisconsin this time of year.
