Cotton. One of my absolute favorites!

This volunteer sunflower is incredible! Buttery dark yellow flowers, over 10ft. tall, and extremely long branches. Yes, please!

These were originally picked for a project, but ended up on my kitchen table instead. Whoops. ‘Bright Lights’ Cosmos seed pods, Gomphrena, Celosia, and unopened Sunflowers.

The foliage was already wilting by the time I got around to taking a photo, but the ‘Cafe au Lait’ dahlias are doing some big time blooming. I added some amaranth and unopened zinnias for a little flair. I think adding the ‘fountain’ grass was a mistake – I won’t add it next time. Either way, I still love it!

This is what the field looks like right now. Next year, I might plant the zinnias closer than 9″x9″. It’s almost impossible to walk down the row of celosia right now – the enormous bumblebees are incredible territorial. Yikes.

Patiently waiting for my new rose bushes to keep on growing! This is ‘Lady of Shallot’

When the sun went down, I snuck into the celosia patch and took this picture – I’ve literally got to wait until the bees are “sleeping” or it’s going to be a bad time.

The first ‘Double Click’ Cosmos of the season, so cute.
