End of July Summer flowers!
Entering the dog days of Summer, a new variety of flowers take hold in my garden.
Hydrangea: These multi-shaped, -colored blooms are perhaps the largest we have in the gardens.
Hosta: Such big leaves! Such tiny flowers! Such a contrast!
Zinnia: Early in our garden, this bright and erect flower sticks out among the greenery.
Cosmos: For some reason, only white ones sprouted from seeds this year. No matter, they are leggy and lovely.
Echinacea: Bees and butterflies can’t get enough of this medicinal plant as they fight each other for landing rights.
Clematis: I never know when to expect flowers but am never disappointed throughout the season.
Sunflower: This early flower with a size complex tries to poke its head above the leaves of towering, but less flowered, plants around it.
Daylily: As its name implies, these ephemeral blooms must be captured and appreciated quickly.
Buddleja: These conical collection of flowerettes have covered a section of fencing and attract swarms of pollinators.
