Last July I published a Post showing an amazing display of hollyhocks along the side of the road in front of our apartment building here in Irkutsk.

Now September has arrived and I wanted to show some more photos of the same area six weeks later. When I left to go to Vladivostok on August the 20th, I myself was curious as to what the hollyhocks would look like when I returned.
Below are a few photos to refresh your memory of what it looked like when I left August 20th.
Ah yes! Out I stepped this morning and looked up the street.
"Did I just hear a squeal from Patti?"
What on this good earth has taken place this past two weeks?
Whoa! Who are you 'yellow flowers'?
Have we suddenly returned to Spring here in Russian Siberia?
Study the left side of the above July 25th photo and then the left side of the below September 4th photo.
Who exactly are you 'yellow flowers'? Where have you come from? Showing up here like gangbusters in September?
Calling Gullible : What are they and why are they coming out in September?
Do all of you see the Bee (above and below) doing what Bees do?
Both of us are already missing all of these joys and surprises that we are finding in Russian Siberia!
Cap and Patti
The Jury Is Back With A Verdict :
Patti (the Jury Foreman) thinks the 'yellow flowers' are 'yellow asters'.

Well, this is a surprise! They may be asters. They bloom late and are perennials. They are really making a statement there in the garden outside of our flat! I Googled yellow asters and they look like what we have there. I DID squeal when I saw the pictures!! Smiles and hugs. Patti
ReplyDeleteWow. Thank You for your comment. I just went to Google and to Wikipedia and found them. So as a Post Script I added a 'link' to 'yellow asters'. I am so happy you squealed when you saw them. I know I did and it was during the night when we arrived from the airport. MUCH LOVE .. Cap

ReplyDeleteThank You So Much Gord. I really appreciate all of your support. Not bad for age 83-years, and still going 'relatively' strong. Cap
