(although I think the blooms are quite lovely) The closest will be more artichokes ~ which many pollinators enjoyed here this summer too. Great photos.<br />I know you're glad it's almost October ~ hope you get many beautiful days to be out in the garden!Kathleenhttp://www.kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-10589624021341644152012-09-22T23:51:42.664-05:002012-09-22T23:51:42.664-05:00That is an amazing place.
