Flowers Around Town: Beautiful Kennebunkport, Maine

For those of you who have never been to Kennebunkport, Maine, I recently took some photos to give you a virtual tour showcasing the lovely flower displays found all around the port. Kennbunkport is one of my favorite places to visit, so I try to get there several times a year. On my most recent visit a few weeks ago, I was delighted to find so many beautiful flower displays.
 I'm not sure the variety of the red potted flowers above, but what a beautiful accent for this arbor. What a view!
A lovely border...
 The bridge across the river is adorned with boxes of annuals.
All along the sidewalks of Kennebunkport you will find these boat planters filled with different annuals.

 Most shops have some kind of window box or tiny garden.
I love this school of fish!

How about this unique display of succulents outside one shop?
Another shot of the bridge of flowers.
On this side of the bridge, you will see the marina and businesses along the river.
 
If you ever have a chance to visit Kennebunkport in person, do! In the meantime, I'll continue to bring you posts when I visit. Stay tuned for a September tour of the Franciscan Monastery gardens to be posted soon...
