Flowers and Some Honeybees. 7.28.2020

This is kind of prime season for a lot of summer flowers. Some are volunteers or perennials, some are grown from seeds and a couple from transplants.
Volunteer Cosmos.  Very pretty white.  7.28.2020
Tigridia, survived the winter and now blooming. m 7.28.2020
Dahlia.  I think this was a tuber in a box at Winco this winter.  7.28.2020
Shirley Poppies.  These seeds were a couple of years old.   First time growing them.  Honeybees love them.  7.28.2020
I grew these Echinacea from seeds a few years ago.  I didn't know if they would survive.  They did.  7.28.2020
I grew this rose from a cutting about 15 years ago.  I forget the name.  7.20.2020
These gladiolus were from a box at Winco.  They should survive the winter, so I"ll leave them there.  7.28.2020

Flowers. 7.12.2020

Lots of flowers blooming now. It's turning out that a lot of them are from seeds I saved myself, but also seeds I bought, and plants that I've grown over the years.

Echinacea, grown from seeds about 4 years ago.  7.12.2020

Cosmos from 3rd generation volunteers, cilantro from saved seeds.  7.12.2020

A daylily I created by pollinating two varieties that I liked, a few years ago.  7.12.2020
