some flowers

first of all the tithonia, glowing bright

the wall is little this year, but I'm still glad I planted it.

better photos of turtlhead, from two different angles

pink cosmos over rue- with a skipper butterfly

one little dahlia

my clematis is blooming again! (they're not overly large this time)

black-and-blue salvia has really filled in its space

here's its dusky flags

and blue flowers

I'm fairly pleased with the marigolds this year- they look a lot healthier kept in pots

Echinacea is looking worn-out and sad- rudbeckia a bit better

the young plants sure have grown up thick

I made a little bouquet with sensitive fern, liriope blossoms, hosta flowers and turtlehead
