I had to sneak a photo of one of these in before they’re done for the season. This is the first time I’ve successfully grown nasturtiums since moving to Sacramento. They grow everywhere in my hometown, Santa Cruz, but not so much here. Maybe they prefer being close to the ocean.
Rescued violas soaking up the sunshine.
I seem to have misplaced my photo for this date, but I just so happen to have an extra hummingbird on hand.
There’s not a lot blooming out in the garden right now (poor bees), so I was happy to see one of the two giant cosmos plants had a big pink flower on it this morning. Hopefully the other one will bloom soon as well.
Today’s pickin’s.
The sun was shining down through the mulberry trees, lighting up morning glory flowers all over the garden today. These vines are almost done for the year – I’ve been pulling them up all week. I’m a little sorry to see the blossoms go, but they really only look like this in the morning. The rest of the time… meh.
I’ve been letting birdseed grow wherever it sprouts in the garden this year. I was curious about what would grow. I don’t know what this plant is, but I like the little star flowers that grow on it.
