Summer & Early Fall Flowers

Our backyard is still a work in progress but husband & I enjoy seeing everything in good health and just going nuts with flowers.







Calendula-started out as a seed from my Seeds of Change packet.


Gaillarda-bought from the farmers' market around July in a 3 inch pot. This is one of our favorites because it has gotten bigger and has flowered abundantly since we added it to our flower bed.


Lobelia-tiny dark blue flowers that just kept going (planted around late spring)


Cosmos


Scarlet zinnia with cayenne pepper (the deer has decimated some of my zinnias and i'd like to enjoy at least some of them, the zinnias, I mean).


Purple coneflower
