Mid-July Gardens #6

The echinacea purpurea is once again attracting the attentions of local bumble bees. Every year they arise along the steep embank- ment of my driveway. I never planted them there. They're all emigrants from long fizzled out plants that I put in the backyard years ago. And every year they arrive with more gusto than the year before, so what am I to do? I take my lead from the bumble bees in July and the Golden Finch in August and simply enjoy!
