More hydrangeas, but I do like them …
… mountain hydrangeas are the least common hydrangea. These have much smaller flowers but the plants are extremely hardy and will survive harsh winters and climates.
And very pretty!

Phlox
Very bright and cheery and safely surviving the drought in someone’s private garden.
On the other hand, these were in a public garden and although still pretty, were struggling quite a bit more.
Sometimes, it’s all about conditions outside your control.
Irish Eyes
Happy Sunday. 🙂

Happy Friday. 🙂
Bee Thistle
I found this worker bee very busily nectar-sipping and pollen gathering in this giant thistle flower.
The bees collect nectar to feed to the young ones back at the hive.
Bees eat pollen, but they also spread it from plant to plant, and as a result are massively key to a healthy ecosystem.
Without them our world would be in serious trouble. Such lovely, tiny insects are so incredibly important to all living beings.
Begonias
Lovely yellow begonias.
July 30’s Friday Flower
These hibuscus are waning now, but are still pretty.
Happy Friday. 🙂
Wild Lavender
I found this wild lavender plant while out for a ramble.
It was scraggly and unkempt looking and growing next to a sage bush, but I could discern its familiar scent well before I saw it. Despite the heat and the smoke, it’s thriving in its little niche.
Happy Thursday. 🙂
