More pretties

As long as I had the camera out taking pics of the weeds, dirt, etc., for my last post, I thought I'd snap some pretty ones while I was at it. I always love the moss roses in their many colors. Here are a few of them. This first pic sorta got photo-bombed. Those white streaks you can see are whiskers. I had so much "help". :)





My sedum plant bush in the wildflower bed is becoming so pretty now:



Behind the sedum are a few black-eyed susans still blooming.


I've pulled out pretty much everything else, as it was done blooming and going to seed. I'd like to dig up the whole bed except for the perennial sedum and BES's and plant new seeds next year... or even yet this fall. We'll see if I get that done. Then I could have some new kinds of flowers to show you instead of just the same ol' same ol'.

Your sedum plant looks very healthy. How did you manage to take a photo of it without a dozen bees on it? I was pulling a few weeds near ours the week and it was full with bees. I stopped counting at 40 bees.

Wow, that's a lot of bees! There simply aren't that many bees around here. I've seen a lot of other bugs on it at times, though, but I did notice there were none on it when I took the pics. Must've been because it was fairly early in the morning and still too cool for much bug activity.

I've got moss roses too - pretty!

Pretty, and they take such little care! I planted these many, many years ago. All I ever have to do is thin them and weed them. They just keep coming back every year and doing their thing.
