Your garden is looking great. I particularly like the bee balm and cone flowers. I am preparing a post on the garden spider. I guess they are everywhere.
Thanks. Caught that bee balm just before it bit the dust for this season. Looking ragged after we finally got a nice rainfall. I’ve never seen one of those spiders at this stage, only later in season when they’re huge and colorful.
You’ve definitely got the welcome mat out for the pollinators. 🙂
Wish I could get some pictures of the American Gold Finches and the hummingbirds–both are too quick.
Great bee and bug shots! Seeing bees toting about large pollen sacs always makes me smile. That first daylily had me thinking of daffodils at first with its ruffled edges.
I see what you mean about the yellow lily. Lilies have been nice this year, usually there are only a few days before they’re gone, but this year they are lingering.
You are seeing a lot of wildlife. Great shots. The sight and sound of need in the garden really brings it to life don’t you think?
Yes. That’s a lovely observation Christina.
