An Orange Season

This season there has been a bounty of colors abounding in the MOSI gardens so this week I’d like to review some of the highlights from a really fantastic season.

Today I am starting with one of my favorite eye-popping colors, orange. Sometimes fiery, sometimes feathery, orange is always a treat in the garden. Butterflies and hummingbirds seem inexorably drawn to this brilliant color and I can’t help but linger a little longer tending to orange flowers. This photo album features Firebush, Amaryllis, Lion’s Ear, Milkweed, Zinnia, Mexican Flamevine, Seville Oranges, Gulf Fritillary caterpillars and more.

What is your favorite orange in the garden?
