Each flowerhead of Oregon Sunshine has a lot of seed.

After you pull the dried flower fluff off, there is a small cone that is a pile of seeds packed together standing on end. Sometimes over a hundred seeds are in that cone. Hand cleaning is well worth the effort.

Today, I'm cleaning seed collected from the front yard #meadow -- starting with Oregon Sunshine (Eriophyllum lanatum).

Yellow daisy flowers (Oregon sunshine) are scattered across a lawn mixed with grass and white clover. In back, there is a white fence, a bristlecone pine, and juniper.

One of our late season #perennials is Toad Lily. The plant doesn't look very special from a distance, but once you are close enough you can see the awesome tiny lily flowers.

This shrub rose has been blooming since May! It also seems to be planning on blooming all the way until first frost given all the buds it is producing!

Bicycling Monterey

#BikeTooter #handcycle #AdaptiveCycling #AdaptiveBikes #perennials #elders #MontereyCounty

@fbaum The first handcycle we saw in Monterey County was in 2010 or 2011, when we met Ed biking on the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail's City of Monterey section.

As we noted in our perennials post (where he's among those featured) https://bikemonterey.org/perennials-biking-monterey-county.html, Ed's career expertise demanded many working hours at the computer. That made those hours with his handcycle a very desirable way to keep life in balance! :)

A man is riding a hand cycle on a paved, car-free multiuse trail in Monterey. He is accompanied by a leashed dog, his golden companion! The man is wearing sunglasses, a dark grey baseball cap, light grey pants, white shirt, and dark blue jacket with turquoise lining. No one else is visible on the trail, and to the right, separated by a green belt, there are motor vehicles on the street, Del Monte Avenue.

I was becoming very fond of this upstart zone 5 #perennials nursery in #Vermont even before they started offering #dystaenia and #hablitzia 😍

I read that rabbits don't eat daisies. Now I know that rabbits don't read. Had to save this from the wascally scavengers. Lots of buds....gonna have great curb appeal when it blossoms. #perennials #rabbits #flowers

The photograph shows a view of two neighbouring borders in the soft light of a foggy morning. The path between them is almost impassable at this time of the year, when the plants have reached their full size. The borders are planted with ornamental grasses and perennials, some of which are going over, others have already gone to seed.
Some of the identifiable plants in this photograph are Salvia nemorosa, Rudbeckia, Achillea, Echinacea, Verbena bonariensis and Scabius.

Planning for next year's garden with #NativePlants?

Short list the Coreopsis "Uptick" variety. It grows in short (1 to 2 foot tall and wide) clumps and provides powerful color in a spray of flowers early Summer into Fall.

This big group of flowers grew from a second-year clump. Definitely not boring, and, as you can see, the #pollinators like the flowers as well.

Hardy in zones 5 - 9. Low maintenance.

Over a dozen flowers in a view of a clump of Coreopsis. The flowers are about 2 inches wide yellow on the outside half of the flower petals and red on the inside half. There are about 8 - 10 petals per flower that end in multiple points. In the center of each flower there is a small mound of yellow reproductive strands. On one flower there is a native pollinator of some kind. Beyond the flowers are green slender leaves.

Today it's supposed to hit 98 degrees in the northern suburbs of Atlanta, but there are still some August work-horses in the perennial garden boasting jewel-tone shades of pink and purple: coreopsis, Joe Pye weed, purple cardinal flower, and Angelica. Full botanical names are in the AltText.

These brilliant ruby-red flowers with golden eyes look a bit like daisies but are actually Coreopsis verticillata 'Main Street' blooming wildly in the month of August.

Close up view of the feathery pink plumes of Eutrochium dubium 'Little Joe', a dwarf Joe Pye Weed aka Coastal Plain Joe Pye Weed. Green foliage looks a little bit like mint leaves.

Two deep purple globes on Angelica gigas, a Korean native. The globes are supported by dark purple stems. Bright green foliage highlights the background.

Upright purple bloom stalks on Lobelia x gerardii 'Vedrariensis' - the Purple Cardinal Flower which is also a native here in the Southeast.

My #plantoftheseason - Ligularia Othello. This is just one plant in its second year. Large leaves open dark purple, turning dark green and purple underneath. Sprays of orange daisy flowers have been going for a month - loved by #pollinators and #bees.

Test pic, can you see the AltText?

Muntingia calabura, Jamaican cherry. Everbearing tree, hundreds to thousands of fruit in warm seasons if the birds don’t get them before you do.

So many cherries! A bunch of Jamaican cherry branches crossing with each other with tons of little cherries hanging off their stems. It is an upward facing pic and you can see the blue sky and clouds. Cast against the sky, the cherries appear black but they are green with a few pink ones here and there.

Been awhile since I've said Good Morning. #flowers #perennials

At this time of the year the paths become ... impassable.

Two densely planted borders, one to each side of the paved path that runs through the photograph from bottom to top. The plants in the borders are partly growing into the path.

#gardening #etymology #BloomScrolling #PollinatorPlants #perennials #BotanicalNomenclature #horticulture #flowers #plants

Veronica spicata 'Royal Candles'. The perennial name "Veronica" is attributed to Saint Veronica.

Veronica means “genuine image” because, according to legend, an image of the face of Christ was mysteriously imprinted on the veil that Veronica (a woman from Jerusalem who lived in the 1st century AD) used to wipe Christ’s brow while on his way to the crucifixion.

After a sunny morning a grey afternoon. View across the width of the garden. Very satisfying to think that only a few years ago there was nothing except grass, the trees and the hedge in the distance.

View across the width of my garden. Two large borders, densely planted with many types of different perennials (now in flower), are separated by a narrow path. At the other end a cream painted greenhouse is partially visible before a tall evergreen hedge. The flowers bring colour to a grey afternoon.
