Stop and view the flowers

In bloom this month in the railrod depot park
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, August 6, 2019

 How does your garden grow?

A garden in Ada this summer puts on a one-of-a-kind show this month. It’s in the historic Ada railroad depot park on Main Street.

Despite that it lacks silver bells, cockleshells and pretty maids all in a row, the blooms are inspiring. You'll find daylillies, rudbeckia, hydrangea, vinca, blue-eyed Mary, coneflowers, celosia, a red hibiscus and several unidentified beauties.

The blooms add to the attraction of picnic tables, restored Pennsylvania Railroad caboose, Civil War cannon and a restored passenger station.

Attached are 13 of the sample blooms you will see. (Thanks to Monty Siekerman for many of the flower idenifications)
