These are actually from this weekend, which is not even technically over, so I’m officially not behind!

Trumpet creeper. I know it’s a thug, but its flowers are just so pretty!

A bit heat-stressed and perhaps not 100% in their prime, but I do love the “autumn coloured” Rudbeckias. I don’t remember which one this is, but I don’t care; just as long as they’re that lovely warm orange colour.

Partridge pea with globe Buddleia in the foreground, and joe-pye weed in the back. Blue lobelia is there, but only a few blooms on that as yet.

Cup plants are very tall!

First bloom of the year on the Cliffie bush. I really should move it into more sun. Perhaps next spring when the ground is good and wet.

I didn’t know until today that they’d eat the flowers, but he was really chowing down! I guess my carrots aren’t going to self-seed very well after all, but it’s okay…I’ll pay a buck for seeds so a baby flutter-guy can eat.

EDIT: Forgot one! I may be having trouble growing honeyvine milkweed over on the arbor because trash pandas keep breaking it off, but that hasn’t stopped it from volunteering on the fence. I might regret it eventually, but I’m going to leave it.
