Cosmos

Zinnias!

Next year I definitely need more,

and to plant them closer together.

My celosia are all short-

but maybe they will still grow up some

First coneflower!

Cranesbill are blooming all over

Starry blue borage-

Plenty more on the way from their fuzzy buds-

Spiky red purple salvia-

Anticipation for black-and-blue salvia- the plant is above my hip now!

Yellow sedum, hiding the old stump-

Somehow fuschia disappoints me. I remember it so fondly from my childhood, but I guess my tastes have changed. Now that it's blooming heavily on my porch, I find the flowers look unreal, fake- and I prefer to admire its. And sadly, it is not attracting any hummingbirds yet. Only a few mealy bugs which I smudge out.

Clematis has been done blooming for a while now- but the spun-gold looking hair of their remnants are interesting to look at-

I didn't realize this one had a daddy long legs perched on it, until I had the photo up on my computer!
