Walking KoKo exposes us to different plants and flowers. All of these are from Mt Vernon, WA, or Coupeville, WA, except for the last three from San Juan Bautista. It is very dry here as they haven't had rain for a while. But there are lots of landscape plants that are kept watered. Not so much the lawns.
There are, of course, dandelions everywhere.
All along the roadways.
We see them on our two daily walks.
Not sure about these. Watsonia?
Unbelievable tuberose begonias grown by Max, Mabel's husband here in Mt Vernon.
The large ones are the size of luncheon plates.
The smaller ones are such lush colors.
Madonna lilies in the yard of Max's SIL, Marge.
Stigma and anthers of the Madonna lily - the anthers are so precisely attached they quiver in the slightest breeze.
More lily buds with Del and Marge reflected in the window.
More lily buds, they are so elegant.
Amazing two tone dahlia.
And a white lily - name unknown.
Lacecap Hydrangea

More Lacecaps
I was thinking this was a guinea gold vine, but I looked it up and I am wrong.
Ideas? The waterdrops are from sprinklers, no rain while I am in town!
Chicory - just starting to open.
Chicory is a late summer/fall wild flower.
Shasta Daisies.

Lilies along the roadside.
A pile of hydrangeas.
More lacecap hydrangea.
And the regular "old fashioned" hydrangea.
Looks almost like gaillardia - this is cultivated though.
And a closeup.
Hollyhock in San Juan Bautista.
A common "old fashioned" garden flower, but tonight I can't think of the name.
Growing in downtown San Juan Bautista.
Rose of Sharon (a bush) flowers in San Juan Bautista.

Lots of pretty flowers on your walk! I especially like the Shasta daisies for some reason. Also the begonias and hydrangeas.
Spectacular,
I think the mystery flower is tansy.
