something from the Octopus's Garden...



a tidepool in northern California



August bouquet:  no peonies, but t'will do!

joe pye weed--always delicious

blur of happiness

blue lobelia, a perennial that seeds itself all over
the flowerbed, is less a nuisance when it's
August....with nikis, queenie anne, purp coneflower,
etc
