end of October 2019

I'm sad the growing season is over. Surprised to see a new greater knapweed flower today.

It's growing from the stem in a way I haven't seen before.

My prostrate rosemary is in full bloom.

still flowers on the shoo-fly but the seed pods are not black like photos I've seen

Starting beginning of September I had an ear infection and then 4 weeks later, after recovering, the other ear got infected. It still is but now I have a cold. I can hardly get the energy to go outside and photograph any plants. Luckily these are in my front garden so not far to go. Maybe one day I'll feel better.

A few days later I ventured out for a short walk. Some beautiful flowers in neighbours' front gardens. Helianthus, not sure exactly which species yet.
