And another one opens its flower. I now have three that are blossoming outside on the patio.

FOTD 15th August 2022: Chinese Silver Grass
About five years ago this appeared in my garden on the edge.I have no idea why, but probably a wayward seed settled and decided it quite liked its new place. It began with a few stalks and now I have a complete plant, but I quite like it and it does not disturb its neighbours. I just called it grass, but discovered that it is actually a Chinese Silver Grass.

They seem to have given up in the heat, or perhaps they days are now over. Susan seems to have been feeling the weather.

And at last the sedum arrives, one of the later plants to flower. I am looking forward to seeing the bees doing their work pollinating.

FOTD 10th August 2022: Elderberry
I saw them in a bush at the side of the path. I am not sure if they are actually edible, but I do know you can make wine with them.

This coincidental hollyhock in my garden is still presenting me with a new flower every day.

When you have mint in your garden, it tries to take over, but this is behaving up to now. I just like to use it for some vegetables to add flavour, especially peas. It also has quite a nice flower.

I was all ready for a photo of an echinacea and a fire bug decided to do some photo bombing, but I am sure it had a purpose to fulfil.

That is what my mum called them, but they were more a pest than anything else. When they began to grow they quickly took over. Howeveer, this sort are growing in the garden of my husbands senior home and they seem to be a more cultivated sort with smaller flowers and behaving.
