 Happy Monday and happy new week!  I am looking forward to these flowers blooming again.  They are a type of Penstemon which I love, Penstemon Digitalis.  They spread quite a lot which is fine with me because, as I mentioned, I love these flowers so the more the better.  They are in the garden by my Gazebo Pond.  It's partly shady there which must make for the perfect growing condition.

 Happy Monday!  I loved the light on these Penstemons that grow by my Gazebo pond.  This is basically straight out of the camera with only a slight crop and resize.  I am not sure of the variety of Penstemon but they spread well or maybe too much depending on your point of view. 😉  I planted some in another area in the hope that they would spread there as well.

 It's Friday, TGIF!  Friday's Are Bokehlicious as well!  I captured this lovely bokeh image of a Bublebee buzzing around the tall Penstemons in my Gazebo garden pond.  I have not seen many Honeybees for a while but the Bumbles are sure around a lot.  I love the bubbly type bokeh in this image caused by the sunlight on the leaves behind.

Most of the week has been about Konza Prairie but today's image is from my yard.  I have these lovely Penstemons that are growing by the big pond.  I did not plant these, they were there when I got the land but they did not bloom much if at all the first year.  All the moisture we had since winter did well for them and they bloomed profusely.  I have this same variety in my backyard garden as well and I lost the tag but I believe they are Husker's Red Penstemons.  Also, because Friday is about the bokeh, this image has some lovely bokeh ball created by other blooms.

I had not seen the Honey Bees around for a good while in my yard.  Lately they have returned in good numbers.  They are enjoying the Autumn Sedum and also, like this one, the Obedient Plant.  I find that name ironic as that plant spreads like crazy but at least it is pretty and the bees get benefit from it.
