A Pink Coneflower at Temple Square



While we were vacationing in Utah recently, we went to Temple Square in Salt Lake City. It's such a beautiful and peaceful place. And the gardens there are absolutely gorgeous.

As we were walking around Temple Square, I was taking photos (of course!), and took a picture of this lovely pink coneflower.

The gardens at Temple Square, which are redesigned every six months, include 250 flower beds. Did you know that
free one-hour garden tours are given from May through September at Temple Square?

Here are a couple of photos of just a few of these beautiful flower beds.

My hubby was taking photos too. It's a lovely place and I hope that the next time you are in Salt Lake City, you will stop by and visit Temple Square.


If you'd like to see more flower photos, as well as other interesting photos, from around the world, please visit Floral Friday Fotos, Weekend Flowers, Today's Flowers, Floral LoveI Heart Macro, and Macro Monday 2.

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Hi Jana, thank you for sharing with Today's Flowers. These are lovely photos and the close-up of the cornflower is stunning! It's such a nice feeling to have a hubby who shares a love for taking photos. We are the same way and it makes the taking of them even more fun. I hope I will be able to get to Temple Square one day. After seeing your post it's on my bucket list :) Thanks again and have a great week :)
