BENJAMIN LEARNS ABOUT THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

Well, not exactly about "the birds and the bees" or "facts of life" in the traditional sense, just a quick visit to the Busch Wildlife Center - Missouri Conversation Department, off I-40 in St. Charles. We were about to take a self-guided auto tour but with the temperature in the high 90, we thought driving around in the convertible would not be a smart choice. So we took a few photos, walked around the ground, used the restrooms and left - you could tell we were not much outdoor people!

Benjamin could almost blend in among these wild flowers - I should learn what they are instead of just saying "yellow flowers" or "purple flowers". Perhaps a smart reader would be so kind to educate me in this area.

  1. The yellow flowers are yellow daisy, I think, better known as Black-eyed Susan, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudbeckia_hirta
