Hello, hello. It's hot and muggy here, but the plants are blooming all over! Roses are overflowing. Echinacea is ready for harvest. Clover and dandelions, hydrangeas, bee balm, astilbe, and more unknown flowers included. Colors and smells, it's almost worth the sunburn :)

Sorry for the late post. Here is a bunch of pictures form the past month. I missed many more flowers. Just this morning I passed a balloon flower on its way out. Didn't have my camera on me though. Hot tip! Just about any yellow flower is good for natural dye. The golden yarrow below is no exception.
