Koi, Motherwort, and Evening Primrose

I'm not sure how these Japanese fish got here in Northwood Park.

A variety of Koi populate the lake and creek.  These are colorful variations of carp often used to populate outdoor ponds.  These fish are hearty and can survive the winter.
Tall green plants near shaded parts are in bloom.

These are called Motherwort.

The flower looks rather exotic close up.
Along the marsh road, a new bright yellow flower is coming in.

Evening Primrose.  I thought it strange but nice that they were in bloom in the middle of the day, these are normally evening bloomers.

The photo does not do justice to the coloring of the flower.  They are a VERY bright yellow flower.

Hope you enjoyed!
