10/02/2023 feeding the world

Bright yellow composite flower stalks are fluffy with small blooms. They are in a rusted steel planter.
Probably Solidago rigidiuscula (thanks for ID, Mom!). This was an accidental but fortunate stowaway in the caliche from TX home!
Big arcs of flower covered Maximilian sunflowers are in bright sunlight in front of shaded and dark leaved Datura in the background.
Heavy work, feeding the neighborhood. The maxes hadn’t fully dropped yet here like they did after the rain.

06/06/2023 more flowering!

One of the cushaw squashes I put by the compost pile has sprouted! I am very curious to see what it does without watering.
Paula put out our Wise Co TX source Datura wrightii. The one in the back in the shade was from central TX.
The ‘Tango’ Agastache aurantica hybrid is blooming!
Echinacea purpurea in the backyard is mostly open now!
