We are fast approaching the end of the summer. We have broken records for heat and lack of rain. Some things in garden were impacted by the weather, and other things the deer helped themselves.
Our Dahlias, which I grow in containers, have done well this year. First up is a new one. The flowers are smaller than some Dahlias, but the color makes up for it.
This next one is much larger, and even though white she is sure pretty:
There are not a lot of blooms this time of the year so the honey bees are keeping busy in the California Poppy patch:
Caught this bee sleeping this morning, curled up inside the flower. I had to replace my camera battery and by the time I was ready, it was waking up and moving:
Hope you enjoyed the photos. As Fall approaches one has to enjoy the last of the flowers.
Everyone have a great day and weekend.

about dahlia
Dahlia (UK: /deɪliə/ or US: /dɑːliə/)[3] is a genus of bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial plants native to Mexico. A member of the Asteraceae (or Compositae), dicotyledonous plants, related species include the sunflower, daisy, chrysanthemum, and zinnia. There are 42 species of dahlia, with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants. Flower forms are variable, with one head per stem; these can be as small as 5 cm (2 in) diameter or up to 30 cm (1 ft) ("dinner plate"). This great variety results from dahlias being octoploids—that is, they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two. In addition, dahlias also contain many transposons—genetic pieces that move from place to place upon an allele—which contributes to their manifesting such great diversity.
Dahlia
Orange Dahlia
The stems are leafy, ranging in height from as low as 30 cm (12 in) to more than 1.8–2.4 m (6–8 ft). The majority of species do not produce scented flowers or cultivars. Like most plants that do not attract pollinating insects through scent, they are brightly colored, displaying most hues, with the exception of blue.
The dahlia was declared the national flower of Mexico in 1963.[4] The tubers were grown as a food crop by the Aztecs, but this use largely died out after the Spanish Conquest. Attempts to introduce the tubers as a food crop in Europe were unsuccessful.[5]
