It's midsummer and the shasta daisies are beginning to show stress from the heat. Bees are more interested in the coneflowers now.
Rabbits (damn their furry little hides) left only a few dahlias this time. This one must be a gift of gratitude.
Another version of the shasta image.
Every year we get this volunteer pumpkin vine, remnant of Halloween in our backyard compost.
