Blooming by July 12. #1 is in the side garden and #2 is the one in the front garden.

Blooming in the backyard and the traffic circle, will aim to take photos at dawn when we're promised a moment of relative cool, meaning 80 degrees. The rest of the day it's mad dogs and Englishmen.

You have to get really close to coneflower to see the real flowers, as small as a bee's tongue.

Will you be tracking Citizen Science or yourself? If you haven't noticed yet, we have a Citizen Science tab at the top of the page. Cool stuff. Join in, please.

Wonderful! The unfortunate name is "crowd-sourcing." Unfortunate because in Citizen Science the more people in the crowd the more useful the observations. Thank for joining in.

@sandyhays: Do you a "Progress" wheel beside your comments that is spinning? I do and the spinning has been going on for three days. I don't know if this is a problem. However, to err on the safe  would you please delete your comments here?

(a side technical note). I received emails about each of these comments dozens of times, for a total of 54 notifications, eek. Did this happen to anyone else? On topic, I signed up to monitor bees last year but did not do it in time. Will do better this year. There were waaaaay mnre bees on our sedum than the target plants, though.
