How Does Your Garden Grow

In full summer, many of my perennials have reached their peak. I sneak a few annuals in to fill the holes. Here is a sampling from my garden.

Lots of pollen for the bees. They are busy in my garden.

These are in a hanging basket.




I don't know what these are, but their sunny faces pop up each summer.

My garden is a riot of colour. I love to see the bright hues; the more colours the better. The bees agree and are frequent guests, darting from flower to flower and feasting on the nectar. These yellow rudbekia spread each year, taking their place and more. I don't have the heart to cull them as their sun-drenched hue is such a happy colour.
