July Plant Update

July was a great month for plant observations and we saw some critters too! It’s been hot here, but we have also had some rain, so the garden and flowers are loving it! We got some smoke from the Canada wildfires and the sun was red for a few days. Things like that never take good photos unfortunately.

I love seeing all the different types of cone flowers out now!

Did the smoke effect your observations? Who and what did you see around where you live this month?

I’m looking forward to August which can sometimes be an abundant month for plants around here!
