What's Bloomin'

There is still a lot in bloom. And this week, there are even a few new things, strangely enough. Some I didn't even plant - more volunteers. Love it!

The first is an aster (I think), and it is super happy. It has been sprouting 1-10 blossoms from the beginning of summer, but I didn't post it. Why? Mostly because I couldn't figure out what it was. And now it has really come into its own, so it was time.  Whatever it is, it is really, really excited to be in my garden.


This is an ornamental gourd plant - which technically doesn't count - but aren't they cute?


They're even cuter when they grow up into a gourd...


And here are my volunteers.


A whole bunch of sunflowers waving good morning - and good evening - and just smiling at me throughout the day. The sunflower house lives again. Ahhh...this is where gardening gets good.

Have a great week, ya'll!

  1. I love sunflowers! Sure those aren't black-eyed Susans? Either way, they're pretty :) As are the other flowers in your garden.

    1. They do look like black-eyed susans, don't they? They look like the sunflowers on the package we used last year, so I'm going to go with sunflowers, but I can see what you mean!
