#SixOnSaturday Days are getting shorter- sunset just after 9:30, much earlier than mid-summer, feels even earlier on cloudy days! There will still be warm days, but we can imagine fall coming soon! After a few cool days, we should finish the week 22-25C chance of showers or thunderstorms. Lots of #flowers have passed their peak, but others still going strong, or just hitting their stride. #florespondence #Bloomscrolling #Alberta #dragonfly #animist #NativePlants #gardening

Not ideal timing for rain for farmers trying to get hay off, but the #soil #trees #wetlands still welcome it #RainMother

Centre left part of the big Veronica patch, much loved by #pollinators of many sorts, with a few white flowers that have appeared in recent years. Right Eurybia conspicua/ Showy Aster, local native, in the roadside.
Bottom left, Malva.

Pics in collage continued, bottom right Agastache foeniculum, Alberta native (I've seen it only once a few miles away, didn't have a chance to go back for seed--this plant was grown from Alberta seed collected by someone else, and sent to me fromNova Scotia...lol
