The season is winding down, but blooms continue. I’m up to around 95 native flower, grass, and sedge species in this small suburban backyard. Brown eyed susan, annual sunflower, cutleaf coneflower, cardinal flower, and blue lobelia now steal the show as many summer flowers finish up.

Beautiful!! I’m sure the wildlife thanks you🙂
Love this, very well done! I really enjoy seeing similar native flowers in other people’s gardens. Here’s some of mine this week

Gorgeous collection!
Absolutely beautiful ~ kinda took my breath away for a minute ~ not gonna lie. The variety of color and heights amazing. Especially like picture number 2. Would love to paint that one.
Such a beautiful place for nature you have made
Inspiring! Do you know of a name for the type of small pond you have? I’d like to do something similar.
The ducks!
You should be proud. How do you go about keeping up on the cardinal flower? It needs a ton of water from the little i know?
So inspiring! Do you mostly use plants or seeds? Do you add every year or does it grow larger on its own? I’d love to work my way towards this
Just gorgeous. I am curious whether you have to do a lot of pruning to keep everything looking this good?
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
How is your cut leaf coneflower with bees right now? I have a patch that is swarmed with hundreds of bees the past couple weeks. The buzzing is crazy.
With tiers of spotted bee balm looking fancy!
