It's Bloomday for September 2017! Earlier in the week I shared my sadness over the fact that summer is coming to an end. It's never, ever, long enough for me. My garden is my paradise and I want to spend as much time there as possible, I hope you all feel the same about yours.
So, on to the September flowers and Garden Bloggers Bloomday, hosted — as always — by Carol at May Dreams Gardens. As you've probably seen by now, I am growing Zinnias for cutting again this year — three different kinds, although 'Envy' seems to be the most prolific. Here's a strange one with a cone in the middle. The hummingbirds seem to love the cone.
