Those Mexican Sunflowers, while they don't stay as long as many other flowers, there are a good number of them now, and monarchs like them! The monarchs are never on the zinnias, but every day they are on the Mexican Sunflowers. One of the two plants is more resistant to whatever is turning the leaves brown, so I am saving the seeds from those, to see if those do better next season. One of the monarchs that like those Mexican Sunflowers out there. by pepperhead212, on Flickr

Joe Pye is big and pink, much to the delight of me, the little beneficial wasps, and the Swallowtails. Marigolds are rockin'. Field asters are starting to show.

Planted some 4 o'clocks for the first time this year to fill in a bare spot around the pond and they are starting to put on a show. Goldenrod in the background is starting to show as well and a volunteer 'Grandpa Ott' morning glory is trying to squeeze into the picture.

Roses are still blooming, sunflowers, yarrow, coral bells, hardy plumbago, cosmos too. Sedum autumn joy are a beautiful deep pink, California poppies are starting their second round, echinacea, victoria blue salvia and bachelor buttons are hanging in there. Definitely a late summer flower garden.

Daffodils are beginning to share their smiling faces. They add so much cheer to the flower garden. The Redbud trees are just starting to show color.

Daffodils and grape hyacinth. It's such a great color combo Some fruit trees are flowering in our little valley but not here at home yet. That's good- the longer they hold out and miss our late freezes, the better chance we will get fruit.

The garden area in front, esp after all the rains, looks like a meadow area with a mix of bright orange California poppies, yellow Calendula, and a few planted 'annual' Statice of bright pink and lovely blues. Also a scant few sweet peas that came up again. Soon there will be many blue Nigellas blooming too as well as the white Feverfew. And lots of weeds that need to go. But all the flowers that have come up on their own makes weeding difficult. Also some blooming blue/purple Mexican sage and Lantana along the border. It's all very pretty, but definitely out of control.
Fruit trees blooming but finishing up. And the citrus (orange, lime) is nearing an end of bloom but still very fragrant.

Lilacs are in full bloom along with the Lily of the Valley. I love spring flowers the best. Next Peonies.

Our lilac planted in 2019 is blooming this year, and the fragrance is delightful. I need to find the tag that came with it and possibly shop for another one. Tulips are still blooming, but looking tired. Columbine is just starting to bloom. And millions of dandelions.
Update…I found the tag for the lilac. The variety is President Grevy.

Lilacs, tulips, grape hyacinth (still), sweet woodruff, wild strawberries, vinca, dandelions, lobelia, crab apple, pear and plum trees.. Iris are getting close. Things are late this year. Probably due to all the unexpected freezes we got in April and early May.

Lilacs, blue flax and the purple globe allium is about to burst open! The hostas are finally growing, and fast!

The Cal poppies and Calendula and sweet peas are fading in front, but coming in are the baby blue Nigella en masse, the 'annual' Scabiosa (perennial here) in dark and bright reds. Hope there are also white and lavendars. Feverfew is also coming in. I've reclaimed most of the paths in that area, but areas still have the wild look of a meadow. So very pretty.
