Activities are starting to fill the Ada school calendar as school is now underway. Here's events scheduled in September, based upon the calendar from the school website
Two perennial plants named for women's eyes grow next to each other at the Ada Depot Park.
Blackeyed Susan and Blue Eyed Mary, growing side by side, can be found on the east side of the garden.
Blackeyed Susan are easy to grow in Ada and spread easily. They do their thing in August and are on the decline now. Blue Eyed Mary are less common, almost a wildflower, preferring shade or part sun, and plenty of water. (Monty Siekerman)
The answer to this question could be debated all summer.
What's your favorite flower in the Ada depot park? It depends on several variables. For example, which month do you check the blooms? What's your favorite color? What's your favorite fragrance?
Do you like climbers? Do you like creepers? The list goes on.
We can't solve this question, but we can provide our favorite nine blooms in August. These were photographed earlier this week. We've simply focused on one individual flower of our favorites.
