Black-eyed Susans - Rudbeckia hirta
More flowers from my favorite botanical garden in Richmond. I am a bit of a novice in identifyling them but I try to take a photo of the marker, so that I can name them when I post here. Sometimes it is hard to find one.
The Sunflower is one of my favorite flowers.
Bromeliad - Aechmea fasciata 'Primera' - Bromeliaceae
A beautiful variety of blooms.
Elderberry - Sambucus nigra 'Madonna' - Caprifoliaceae
A pretty one, but one I don't the name of.
These are leaves from the Maidenhair Tree - Ginko biloba 'Magyar' - Ginkgoaceae
Taro - Colocasia esculenta - Black Magic - Araceae

Excellent photography! The clarity and color and lighting is remarkable ... sounds like I'm describing a diamond.
Oh I love them !
How can you choose a favorite, I can't, but will say I'm partial to that Sunflower, it's the nicest one I've seen this year.
Lovely pics Denise.
A beautiful garden and blooms. I got so intrigued about the Taro. The leaves are very similar to our root crop grown in the Philippines. We also call it purple yam. Thanks for sharing Denise.
Thanks for sharing your secret of how you know all the names of these flowers. ;-) They are all so lovely!
An ocean of Black Eyed Susans, how lovely. Wonderful photos.
Sunny :)
Your pictures this morning made me soooo excited about coming back to England and giving up the sand for a while!! YAY
I love your new header! Your shots are beautiful as always. I've heard of elderberries all my life and now I finally know what they look like. Thanks Denise. :)
I can live in this garden Denise. Beautiful array of flowers over there.
Gorgeous photos, Denise! Especially the second photo is very beautiful! Thanks for visiting.
Beautiful all beautiful.
I havent seen an Aechmea in flower for ages.
A beautiful selection of photographs. I really like Gingko biloba - the leaf shapes are so pretty.
I love sunflowers and Black-eyed Susans as well.
At our wedding, Sunflowers and Susans was our theme!
It was an outdoor wedding and we had the flowers outside and inside.
It was bright and beautiful!
lovely array
Denise: Great flower photos, I will play later. I love the Bromeliad, saw it in Nashville.
A beautiful collection of blooms. Your header is terrific.
Really beautiful flowers!!
Hi Denise,
All your photos are wonderful. For some reason the variety of blooms struck me, so many flowers in one spot. Ummm.

Lovely flowers Denise and a great new Header.
Something for everyone, and I'll go for No.3 A beauty.
Beautiful flowers, especially the sunflower. Well captured..
Love rudbeckia - yours are like a flock! The pink one is pretty and delicate. Elderberry is supposed to be tops in flu prevention - save some for winter!
Wonderful series; the leaves of the ginko biloba are lovely.
I found your lovely flower photo's a pleasure.
Oh that elderberry is very pretty. Gotta love that sunflower. =)
Hello dear Denise!
Wonderful flowers and the colours are so vivid!

What a nice collection of flowers. That looks like a fun garden to go to. My favorite is the group of different flowers.
Your mystery flower may be a type of Salvia.
I take pictures of the signs, too. Plant tags at nurseries also. It works now that memory is so cheap. I used to get home from shooting with a couple of small pieces of paper with the names written down and it didn't work very well.
lots flowers...excellent shots..congrats, Denise

Very colourful photos! I like sunflowers too.
What a lovely array of flowers! Beautiful! The sunflower image made a lovely header photo, too.
Thanks for your visit to my post, and your kind comments.

A gorgeous variety of flowering plants! I love the sunflower!
The Ginko is said to be good for the memory - you are suppost to eat it but I do not know what part and how much.

How wonderful. Amazing!
wow you got lovely flowers ..thanks for sharing again..love esp. that bromeliad..got thousands of them before back in my home country..hope you have a great start of the month....tc
Denise, These are lovely photographs. You have inspired me to visit the arboretum again. Our temperatures have been so warm (okay a sizzling 113 degree hot LOL ) that I have not been for awhile. In another month or so when we cool off I definitely will have to make an afternoon of it. I love learning the names of the different plants and flowers. Nice going along with you to yours though! :)
Denise
Just like you, I always look forward to Sunday to see wonderful flowers on blogs. They make me happy.
I have the same bromeliae and your sunflower is gorgeous!
Good week for you.
Lovely Denise! So many wonderful posts from your visit to the gardens. It has been a plethora of beauty you've shared.
As to my son's wedding. He and his wife just celebrated their fifth anniversary this weekend. Their wedding was way before I began blogging. :)
