My sunflowers that come up from seed every year are currently one of the big attractions in the garden. Their sunny yellow faces never fail to make me smile and the bees are delighted.
The heliotrope is putting out a second series of flowers. I love these old fashioned flowers with their sweet vanilla cherry pie fragrance. With the rain we have had the leaves looks great. All this will be mine to enjoy until frost.
This bright orange butterfly weed has been gorgeous this year! It seems to be very happy here and the butterflies find it so attractive. I wouldn't say it clashes with the blue lobelia and the white phlox in the background, but it sure stands out!
The butterfly bush that grows at the base of Ed's stone wall is putting on a lovely display for a plant that I thought was dead earlier in the season. Buddleia is always touch and go here. I'm delighted to watch the butterflies and hummingbird moths enjoy this plant. I love it's delicate fragrance myself.
After enjoying a perfect garden ripe tomato at lunch, I had to include Ed's photo of this beautiful set of tomatoes.
To be sure there are some ugly garden pictures that could be taken here. We have tons of weeds, squash with powdery mildew ... Perhaps I will post them sometime, but today I went with bee...autiful!

What a nice photo capture of the bee honing in on the sunflower! I like you other postings of various flowers, too! Glad you are having some great-looking tomatoes, too!
