I only saw one a few weeks ago. The black and blue salvia and agastache are blooming next to each other, ready for the hummingbirds when they come back.

I'm sorry to hear you aren't having butterflies though...I have tons of them here and wish I could send some to you. I did try to help some monarch cats along but they all died, sadly...even the 1 that did make it to a butterfly couldn't fly, as it had deformed wings. But the swallowtails, wow...they are prolific around here this year...<br />I've loved our weather this summer as well. Way, way different than most years. There has been humidity but it's been much less than normal and the days have been tolerable. Now that it's August the temps are actually starting out in the 60's and it's wonderful! You've reminded me that although I did plant zinnia seeds, I forgot the cosmos this year. Will put that on my list for next year :)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-63521286108016671042013-08-25T19:20:10.471-05:002013-08-25T19:20:10.471-05:00I'm suffering some plant envy looking at your ...I'm suffering some plant envy looking at your Russian Sage.

Not even any Painted Ladies. <br /><br />After seeing your pictures of 'Zowie!' last year, I knew I had to have it too.

I could count the ones I have seen on one hand! I love the zinnias and wish I had planted cosmos. Your Russian Sage is beautiful. I never have luck with it for some reason. My one plant is pathetically small. I wish I knew what was going wrong. Too good a soil? Maybe. Could the mysterious phlox be David's Lavender? It would have a light scent if it is.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-15695895333903310982013-08-17T20:10:29.045-05:002013-08-17T20:10:29.045-05:00You're right, in a lot of ways this summer has...You're right, in a lot of ways this summer has gone easy on the plants, and things are looking less ragged than usual for this time of year.

Seeing a tiger swallowtail used to be daily, but I think I've only seen two this summer. <br /><br />I grew cosmos this summer as well, but I've been disappointed in the variety --they were supposed to be pink and white, but they are mostly white. It doesn't help that the Japanese beetles nibble them to oblivion. <br /><br />I think that's an excellent photo of a hummer at a flower!Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058787761575567910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-65325955908227050932013-08-15T12:16:24.746-05:002013-08-15T12:16:24.746-05:00I think I said before that your lovely hydrangeas ...I think I said before that your lovely hydrangeas made me look at them with fresh eyes and i like what i see.Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-87705269323012019132013-08-15T10:05:03.847-05:002013-08-15T10:05:03.847-05:00Oh, my!
