More summer flowers

Tall-and-gangly white phlox, and some beautiful-blue "volunteer" flax (that means they snuck in and volunteered their services in making the garden nice.. AKA weeds if you don't want them where they volunteer, but I like them very much... also, flax was the main agriculture of the William Floyd Estate in the years way-back-when, when it was a working farm).


Lots and lots of purple coneflowers...

... sunflowers like blood oranges...
... and the gourd vines. I don't know if these are the bird's nesting box gourds, or the snake gourds, or a couple of each. I planted both in the pots. We'll see when the gourds arrive: they have just started to flower: large, white, calling the bees.
