This week the Icon features 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 clustered bellflowers (featured today). Also, pause and admire the bee balm, dianthus, gallarda, 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.
