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 and Some Honeybees. 7.20.2020

A lot of flowers bloomed while I was in the hospital.  I had decided to leave the artichokes, because I don't know how to cook them anyway and they have cool but weird looking flowers.  It turned out that the honeybees like them, some had 6 or more bees per flower.   It was like a honeybee party among strange blue trees.
