Gorgeous Green Bee

This small amazing metallic green is from the genus Agapostemon.
Also known as the Sweat Bee which isn't attracted to human sweat.
We really need to plant more wildflowers and plants in general to save all our bees and pollinators!
This one is fond of this Becky Shasta Daisy.

Grandpa Otts

Grandpa Otts is a gorgeous heirloom morning glory.
It's a lovely dark purple with a magenta throat.
A favorite of humming birds.
Be warned it will seed all over!
They have heart shaped leaves and according to folklore will bring love and happiness to you.
It's said if you have nightmares you should sleep with the seeds under your pillow.

Mysterious Bloom

I planted a variety of pumpkins, Summer and Winter squash this year.
I'm not sure what this lovely bloom will create.
I hope it's a pumpkin!
I'll keep you posted.

Ghostly White Wonder

I planted several of this variety of cucumber this year.
White wonder is a lovely and mild flavored cuke.
It's not a pure white but the lighter color makes them easy to find.
I pick them young for salad.
White Wonder is an heirloom introduced by Burpee.
The original seed came from New York.
I got my seeds from rareseeds.com.
I love the varieties from Bakers Seeds!
