Here's what I saw this week during my Second Look.
 |
| The sedum is in full bloom now. There were a lot yellow ants on it. |
 |
| Every September in this bed of brown day lilies and tiger lilies, these Sternbergia lutea pop up to add a bit of brightness. |
 |
| The hydrangea blossoms are starting to fade. |
 |
| The butterflies are enjoying the second blooming of the sage. (Okay, Ward thinks this is a moth. I think it looks like a skipper butterfly, but I'm too tired to figure it out right now.) |
 |
| These two late bloomers stand out among the other faded celosia. |
 |
| We still have a few balloon flowers. |
 |
| The volunteer marigolds continue to please. |
 |
| I don't have any baby birds to show you this week, so I'll show you a bluebird feather I found. |
Glad to see you're still getting some sun at the end of summer. It was over 30C (86F) here today, not bad for the start of spring :)
ReplyDeleteLIz,I guess this one time of the year we are getting similar weather.
DeleteOur leaves started to change and fall then we hit a heat wave yesterday and today. Not sure what will come next. I love these pictures I find myself looking for the last spots of color myself knowing they will be gone soon. Your celosia is amazing, I don't think I've ever seen those before. The colors are so vibrant. I may have to add some here to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThese were all grown from seed. So maybe next year, you can get a pack or two and give them a try. There are a lot of different colors and shapes to choose from and they don't require much attention. Just my kind of plant.
