The bug on the feeder is a praying mantis. Lovely flowers all, mine are starting to fade, I don't have any real late bloomers except for the sedum and that was under water for a few days, hopefully no lasting damage.
Gorgeous photos! I am definitely going to try a sunflower patch next year. They are lovely. Brugs are so interesting and pretty, I am assuming they are a higher zone then 4 kind of plant. Really pretty!
Very nice, Wrennie! You are so lucky that deer haven't eaten yours too, as you live in a more rural area than we do.
Do you like to POP the seed pods, like I do? It's so much fun, when they are big and round and full - they are very springy. Kids especially like seeing that, and it's a great way to spread the seeds for next year.
