Flowering plants August 18, 2022

 

The hawk moth does not seem to mind a messy garden.  Soaring over evening primrose, plumbago and oregano.  
I like it, too, now passing by other's orderly gardens and coming back to mine.
Today I counted 
pearly everlasting, phlox, blue mist spirea, sunflowers, potentilla, mallow hollyhock, black-eyed susan, brown-eyed susan,  blackberry flowers, plumbago, purple asters, bee balm, goldenrod, oregano, tomatillo blossoms, borage, sage, larkspur, amenone, white bellflower, arugula flowers, tomatoe blossoms, squash blossoms, fennel, evening primrose, bean blossoms, catmint!

  Centaureus Montana, just blooming now.  Got this last fall from Elise.  It's in the back garden,  too. The start of crab apple tree blossoms.  Spectacular. Alot of work these last couple of days.  I covered large areas of the front garden with wet newspaper and mulch/branches from the blue spruces that fell.  Around the Nanking Cherry, Spirea, and Asian lilac.  Finished checking the drip system on west side.  Need to make sure everything is watered.  Planted five tomatoes in front west by door.
