Snapped a couple of early morning shots of the new plants we'd introduced a couple of weeks ago. Early morning light adds extra dimension to these images and enhances the colors making them come through with more intensity.
Such a luscious & soft golden color .
The cone-head center of these golden beauties will provide food to small songbirds this fall and winter. As they select their free lunch they will inevitably scatter seeds on the ground. Some of those seeds will sprout and expand the black-eyed susan plantings! Nature plays an active hand in our garden.And below, this profile view of one Hollyhock bloom highlights the contrasting textures between paper thin petals of the flower and the knobby, bulbous center where all the magical action happens.
We pick and scatter the seed pods these plants produce along our fence line each autumn to guarantee a future crop of colorful hollyhocks. They are bi-annuals and with a little help from us grow into the prettiest privacy screen every summer!
I am pleased that these shots turned out so well. Sure hope you've enjoyed the view!
