I noticed the parks workers taking out all of the colourful seasonal annuals today before winter arrives. If the weatherman is right it's supposed to snow tonight.
Rotary Park is one of the older, established parks here in Medicine Hat. I didn't get a chance to take photos there the past few summers but here are some favourite shots from a couple of years back.
Above is the gazebo in the middle of the park. There are usually a few weddings here each summer.
The original stone arch at the corner entrance.
Richly coloured coleus.
Mostly marigolds and petunias.
Wax begonias for the shady spots.
Fountain grasses surrounded by petunias, coleus and other annuals.
Night is closing in.
I hope you enjoyed this "last blast of colour."

What a beautiful park!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a beauty! Thanks Debra.
DeleteGorgeous photos of the park! I planted coleus this year and enjoyed them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn. Can't get much brighter or more colourful than coleus. Usually a shade-loving plant but there are varieties now that do well in full sun.
