We have many wonderful places to see a variety of flowers, and Cantigny Park in Winfield, Illinois is great.
On this trip in August, many flowers were in bloom, including the Japanese Anemone in the color purple.
I like how it had a bunch of buds hanging around the bloom, almost like a batch of friends ready to help.
