Flower time!

First purple coneflower of the season.

I realize they're so basic, but I just love French marigolds. I love how they look, I love how the plant smells, I love how easy they are to grow and save seeds from, and I love that some varieties can be used to deter pests both above and below ground. Here they're mixed with nasturtium and while you can't see them, there are cucumber seedlings too nearer the central olla.

Purple crepe myrtle just started blooming too. It's either a dwarf variety or the winters kill it back enough so it acts like one.

My hedge of cosmos again. It's 4-5' tall and 3' wide and my stepping stone path that leys me access the middle of the bed runs right through it. Oops. I'll know better for next year but the bumblebees freaking love it. This is all from (deliberately) dropped seed from the few plants I had last year btw. I'll be spreading the love elsewhere in my garden next year because they're doing very well despite the heat and lack of rain (I'm not bothering to water them).

My peachy-pink daylily that always blooms behind the yellow ones, though the common daylilies are still going strong elsewhere in the garden. I'm fairly sure that I did actually buy and plant these deliberately.

And the bee balm finally bloomed this year. It didn't like where I originally planted it so I moved it last year and had to recover. I like it, but the bees currently prefer the cosmos.

And the borage! This one's in an earthbox because I wasn't sure that my garden conditions would be good for it or not. They did end up doing fine but they're buried behind the cosmos. I've been assured that it's a vigorous self-seeder so I'm hoping that it takes off like the cosmos did (unlike the coriander which didn't).

And nasturtium. I've got at least four different colors going this year (two pictured) from a bulk seed purchase last spring. I've still got seed left, but I'd love if these became self-sustaining. The flowers are great, but I especially like the foliage as it's a nice contrast to everything else. They are getting a bit stressed by this heat wave though. We need rain to perk everything up again.

Some cute little things I painted with gouache. A really fun tool, I'm starting to like it more than watercolor :)

I tried several brands : Himi gouache to begin (first 3 drawings, paint quality is pretty okay), but I prefer Holbein and W&N in the end (last 3). Will still use all of them, they all have pros and cons.

Can you please make something aesthetic with lemons, strawberries, oranges, bread, flowers and bees in mind? You don't have to use all of them, thats just the vibe I'm going for.
