Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Madison, Wisconsin, September 22, 2008, unidentified blossom.
Olbrich Botanical Gardens is located in Madison, Wisconsin. Named for its founder, Michael Olbrich, the gardens are owned and operated jointly by the City of Madison Parks and the non-profit Olbrich Botanical Society. The gardens were officially established in 1952.
Noteworthy additions to the gardens were the Bolz Conservatory in 1991 and a Thai pavilion or sala, a gift to the University of Wisconsin–Madison from the Thai Chapter of the Wisconsin Alumni Association and the government of Thailand through its king, Bhumibol Adulyadej. Opened in 2002, it is one of only four sala outside of Thailand and one of two in the United States (the other is located in Hawaii). – Wikipedia

On Saturdays, rain or shine, from the middle of April through the beginning of November, the market is held around the state Capitol Square and on Wednesdays during the same period it is held in the 200 block of Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., rain or shine.
During the winter, it can be found at other locations — indoors, of course.
The market is a producer-only farmers’ market. All products in the market are produced by the vendor doing the selling. No resale is allowed.
The Dane County Farmers’ Market (DCFM), operating continuously since 1972, is an outlet for Wisconsin-produced homegrown fruits, vegetables, meats, cheese, eggs, bakery products, cider, maple syrup, honey, sorghum, fresh and dried flowers, herbs, houseplants, jams and jellies, pickles and other prepared food products.
… intended to give growers and producers of goods and consumers an opportunity to deal directly with each other, rather than through third parties.
… intended to enhance the Capitol-Concourse area of the City of Madison.
More information on the farmers’ market can be found on the Dane County Farmers’ Market on the Square website.

Our grandson just finished his testing in karate for first level black belt.
He will be 11 next month and has been in karate for 4 years.
He gets his black belt in an award ceremony tomorrow near where he lives in Wisconsin. Karen is up there visiting – which was arranged some time ago to coincide with this event.
I wish I could be there with Karen to visit our daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter, and grandson, but I have classes to teach.
