Saturated With Colour

It's not only roses at the Stanley Park Rose Garden. Some afternoon sun and a backdrop of yellow flowers came together nicely to highlight an appealing purpleish/pinkish daisy.

In the Tropics

I didn't see a label for this plant in the Bloedel Conservatory, but it's some sort of tropical that thrives in a humid environment (if anybody knows the variety then please let me know). Normally in Vancouver lush natural surroundings aren't for want, but the dead yellow grass everywhere illustrates that this summer has been dry as a bone.
