Stop and smell the gaillarda

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 3, 2014 - 12:16pm

We continue our series of photos of flowers blooming in the Ada railroad depot park. You can't miss the park. It's on Ada's Main Street and is worth the trip from Bluffton. Stop and smell the gaillarda (featured today). Also, pause and admire the dianthus, scabiosa, speedwell and lots of day lillies. Watch for more flowers to smell all week. These flowers are also featured on the Ada Icon this week.
