Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: August 2020

I took the following photos on Bloom Day, which is the 15th of the month — after which I realized that I’d (temporarily) lost my mojo for processing digital photos on my desktop computer, since I’m so accustomed to uploading them via my phone. Silly HEIC image format, throwing a wrench into the works…

At any rate, here they are… mostly so Future Me can remember what was in bloom in August 2020.

This was my first year starting Mexican sunflowers, and I really adore their pop of color!
I have no idea what this volunteer might be. It made itself a home next to my anemone, and I actually quite like it. If it’s a perennial, it may get relocated somewhere more appropriate, though.

Nasturtium

I started some Nasturtiums from seed this year, to pick up on the color of the dwarf Japanese maple in the Early Spring border (which isn’t particularly colorful in the summer).

This is the only bloom so far, but I do like the pop of color it adds. Hopefully the chipmunks don’t eat it right away.
