These are some of the flowers I recognize- forsythias and hydrangeas I photograph myself in my yard. Delphinium I see in many neighbor's yards. The mum apocalypse happens every fall. Amaranthus in the woods at the fields, anthurium in pots in Cali, alchemilla decorating cities, amsonia sprouting in parks. I love them.
