Yesterday I shared pictures of the Toronto Zoo Giant Pandas, so thought I would go in a little different direction tonight.

When I visited the Toronto Zoo two years ago I wrote a post titled Flowers at the Zoo.

One of the things that I like about going to a zoo is that they usually have some nice flowers as well. They can be of two types. Flowers planted for landscaping throughout the zoo, or flowers that are part of a biome.

Tonight the pictures will be of flowers used for landscaping.

I have had a very busy day, so will keep the commentary to a minimum as I am really tired. You probably don’t want to read too much of my tired ramblings 🙂

I really love these beautiful little blooms. They are so delicate, yet have a beautiful color.This was an interesting picture as it has one pink flower in the middle of a bunch of white flowers. This is a closeup of the group of flowers. The entire grouping was about 95% white with just a little pink for contrast.

I also really liked this massive flowerbed full of purple flowers that was in front of the Indian Rhinoceros Pavillion.

I decided to take a closer look at the flowers in the flowerbed. The flowers were really pretty close up as well, and I even caught a little bee that was busily at work collecting nectar.

This is one of my favorite groupings of flowers at the zoo. You have the beautiful yellow black-eyed Susan flowers in the foreground and you can barely see the spherical purple blooms in the background. An interesting contrast between two types of flowers.

I hope that you enjoyed these flowers from my day at the zoo.
