Sunflowers

The little Teddy Bear Sunflowers have bloomed and faded but these beautiful red ones are just getting started. This is the first flower from a plant given to me by one of my gardening friends (Thank you, Wanda!)
I love these late summer bloomers - this one is right across from our picnic table. But you can see what a poor job of weeding I do this late in the season. Those morning glories pop up everywhere.

Bountiful Harvest


Here's a close up of our little baby pumkins.

We put this trellis in front of the entrance to the vegetable garden and this white pumkin vine really took it over. Looks like we'll have a nice crop of Lumina Pumkins this year.

We've got a pretty crop of Chihuahuas coming up too....

Birthday Lilly



These are the first 2 blooms on my "Lilly Tree."
This was a gift for my 50th birthday from my dear friend Barbara. It is lovely, and the color has deepened after a couple of days.
You can see the Montauk Daisies behind it- crowding a little, and the gray object in the corner is one ear of my bunny statue.
