Flowers in the U. P.

I really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful flowers while on vacation in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!
I don't know what these are, but they were growing along Hwy.58, just past the Log Slide area.

Here are wild flowers growing along the beach near the Manistique Lighthouse.

When we stopped at a rest area on Hwy.2, we saw these wildflowers:

Mackinac Island probably had more flower beds that anywhere else we visited, from window boxes, to borders, to giant planted beds!  We also spotted a few wild flowers as we rode our bikes around the Island.










BooBoo admiring the day lilies growing at the Battlefield on Mackinac Island:

And the boat load of flowers at a pull-out on Hwy. 134, along the way to Drummond Island.

How could we forget about our gravel road adventure on Drummond Island and the field of wildflowers we saw:

Then when we got to Greenstone and Thimbleberry's home, we saw all their beautifully manicured flower beds:




On our walk in the woods behind their home were these wildflowers:
 

These photos were taken at the Mission Hills Cemetery:


We finally spotted some thimbleberry plants that were growing along the path in the Fayette Historical State Park:

-----and when we got back home, it was nice to see our plants on our deck were still thriving:

---and as usual this red salvia is "popping up everywhere"!

No place like home!!!
