Took this photo in my yard yesterday. There were a dozen small gaps between the leaves, where the concrete floor showed through, but I filled them in with #Gimp clone tool. I made my clones darker than the original, but to make them smaller, I guess I'd have to paste the source into a temporary image or layer, shrink it, and clone from that? #bloomscrolling
I imagine your timeline could use some sunflowers.

Jerusalem artichoke seen on the way to the store. I had to stop my bike for photos.

Today in the greenhouse...
Lophophora williamsii, known as peyote, native to southern North America, particularly the Chihuahuan Desert. So unusual for three flowers to appear at once and this is the smallest of my peyote plants. The flowers will probably be followed by pink seedpods and black seeds, though I've never tried growing this species from seed.
Early autumn honeysuckle, with web.
Two-tone

Evening walk after a brief, but most welcome, rain shower. I stopped by the gardens at the nearby research greenhouse to see what’s growing. 🌺🌵☔️
