Golden Raintree Seedpods

The Golden Raintree is done flowering.

Now the seed pods are dried and the seed is ready to be harvested.

Now that the fields are being harvested, an influx of Minute Pirate Bugs have come on my Oasis.

They are feeding off nectar.

I picked my Pineapple Pears a month ago.

But this one I had missed and somehow kept growing instead of rotting away.

Even in late summer and fall, there are some woodland plants flowering.

But most of the plants flower earlier in the year, especially in spring.

These annual plants have very noticeable flower display in late summer. The flowers can be attractive to hummingbirds.

The young cats like jumping up on everything and exploring their surroundings.

The cats decided to sun themselves on the hay rake.

Jerusalem Artichokes are a good perennial plant for the garden.

They produce tubers to eat and flowers for ornament.

Foxtail knows how to survive and ended up finding a way to grow among these flowers.

These annual grasses are late summer plants.

Double-Flowered Rose of Sharons have stunning flowers.

These cultivars can be propagated by grafting or cuttings.
