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.

On this blog: gardening and wildlife. Life in Northern California, and an archive of postings from Long Island's southern shore, amid the wetlands... restoring house and garden. And the most beautiful sunrises...

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).
