Embracing the sun


I often tend to post a photo of a vibrant flower when our weather is overcast and grim. However, today's forecast is for a mix of sun and clouds this morning and mainly sunny this afternoon. It's -3C right now, but it's supposed to reach 7C this afternoon. Scattered flurries tonight and tomorrow, with a few flurries on Saturday. Looks like our ridiculously mild weather has come to an end - we broke a 90-year-old record the other day, with a high of +16.4C. Crazy weather for winter in Calgary!
This photo was taken on 24 June 2015, when I called in at the Reader Rock Garden after a volunteer shift. I believe this flower is a Painted Daisy / Chrysanthemum coccineum.
"With delicate, fernlike foliage and showy daisy-like blooms in shades of white, red, purple and pink, Painted Daisy adds striking colors to the garden."
