Early August in the Garden

Echinacea tennesseensis is looking good!

We have so many mushrooms growing in the shady grassy areas, I think I could make my own mushroom compost!

This bumblebee was only one of many buzzing around the ‘Kent Beauty’ Oregano.

Russian sage and Mexican hat are in peak form. Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia) is actually native to Afghanistan, and Mexican hat (Ratibida columnifera) is native to Colorado. Such is the treachery of common names!

015Swallowtail butterfly and butterfly bush.

Drop by anytime in August, Wednesday through Saturday, 9-5, to see more blooms and butterflies and bees and birds!
