I have something similar, if not the same plant, that pops up at the beginning of autumn every year. My husband calls it a weed, but I think it's rather pretty and free-spirited, and of course, the bees love it, too. Does your pitcher sage self-seed? I'm so happy to finally have one little clump blooming this year, and I certainly wouldn't mind having more. I've seen no sign of the Illinois Bundleflower seeds you sent me, but perhaps they'll be like my sneezeweed and surprise me next year. Always a treat to see all your wildflowers, Sue; I've been enjoying them on Facebook, too.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-73090780910303246852015-09-27T18:01:57.540-05:002015-09-27T18:01:57.540-05:00What fun to have such a wide variety of critters t...What fun to have such a wide variety of critters to visit your garden!

It seems next year may also be a dry El Nino year for Washington. Your wildflowers and insects all look so happy. I did have lots of Clematis blooms, 3 Goldenrods are blooming now, but my tiny Blue Mist flower is just getting buds, but at least is still alive, in the shade next to my hose bib. It's fun to see your flowers, Sue.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-82552966160896333552015-09-23T14:50:23.755-05:002015-09-23T14:50:23.755-05:00What a beautiful garden you have Sue.

I thought we were...Sue, rain, rain, and more rain. I thought we were done for a while then yesterday it began again. I see the flood warning are out again in the low areas mostly along the rivers. The only fall flowers that I have are the Hostas and they have started blooming just yet. I finally finished the three year project of fencing in my garden so now the deer won't be eating my produce any more. I'll tackle the raccoon problem next year. It's much more difficult to keep wildlife out then domestic animals in. <br /><br />The garden is winding down and clean up needs to begin. Beans, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, cabbage, and cucumbers all did well this year. Strawberries, sweet corn, squash, and pumpkins were all destroyed by wildlife. Each year gets a little better as the structure to control weeds and wildlife becomes more effective. <br /><br />Have a great insect activity watching day.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-6781616217230632882015-09-23T09:27:18.103-05:002015-09-23T09:27:18.103-05:00the seeds add an extra architectural layer to the ...the seeds add an extra architectural layer to the colour and flowers.Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-59448806817493620482015-09-23T09:05:20.618-05:002015-09-23T09:05:20.618-05:00Lovely flowers!

Perennial crops take fewer chemicals, energy and weed control as compared to crops like alfalfa and soybeans. The common name is Donkey Beans.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-85921308177876170532015-09-23T05:46:25.546-05:002015-09-23T05:46:25.546-05:00I love your header picture!

They started eating my Blue Mistflowers, too, but I saved the Mistflowers with some chicken wire. So, I don't think I'll have a problem with the Mistflower spreading too much here. The pollinators really seem to like it. I love it, too! Your Illinois Bundleflowers are so nifty!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.com
