Sunflowers are ripening & just as quickly being gobbled up.
mostly by the Goldfinches!
It's been entertaining to watch them feeding especially after they stripped all the seed from the easier-to-reach tops of the heads & have to move to the bottom.
They jump,
stretch & contort themselves all manner of ways to reach the seed.
The view from my patio chair into the back garden:
Everything is full and lush. Helped along by our recent rain showers.
If you know where to look, you can even spot the beautiful cluster of 'Polka' roses opening on the arbor:
They are absolutely exquisite.
But what rose isn't? Really. Below: 'Crown Princess Margareta' on a second flush.
The little Arabella table adorned by topiaries:
The day wrapped with a friends visit & sparkling moscato on the patio.
Perfection.
