Helianthus annus aka sunflowers--the big news is, we finally have an abundance of sun flowers. This week we will have brown center suns and lemon/lime green center suns.
Finally!
I have it from the big boss with the hot sauce that they will be coming on strong now until it freezes.
It really starts to feel like August when the amaranth begins to bloom. We have mini heads of gold and magenta amaranth. Each head is six to eight inches long.
Burgundy/magenta amaranth
The bloodflower is also blooming strongly and in abundance.
The globe thistle is peaking and is just perfect--jade green heads dusted with periwinkle blue.
We have a new crop of lavender--long strong stems, very fragrant.
Sedum is one of my favorites--the foliage can be harvested in early summer, the seed heads, as shown here, in mid-summer, and the colorful seed heads, until frost. What a giving plant.
The sweet peas are incredible! On a normal year it would be too hot for them but they are fantastic--good stem length and so very fragrant.
We have a second harvest of grasses too, foxtail millet, highlander millet and frosted explosion grass.
Yes, zinnias--we have a beautiful crop of zinnias in gorgeous rich colors.
Coral red zinnia--very similar to the red zinnia but warmer, with touches of pink and orange.
Lime zinnia
Orange zinnias
Red zinnias
White zinnias
Yellow zinnias
