Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

Such diversity in our world.  An example is the black-eyed Susan.  They come up every year–in different spots in our yard.  They seed themselves.  They are fighting for space with other weeds.  If you look at one bed, the flowers are at different heights and even at different angles.  I love looking at them.  The flowers last a long time–weeks in fact.  They come up a little later in the season.  Every year I await them and they never fail to please me.

The Black-Eyed Susans were finally  blooming.  They come up each summer and are one of the last flowers of the summer to bloom.  They are annuals, that seed themselves.  I thought it was unusual this year that the flowers were all at different heights–from six inches high to two feet and everything else in between.  They had too much competition this year with the other weeds.  I love looking at them.  We have several beds of them.  The flowers last for weeks.  Summer is on its way out.  At least it seemed that way.  Summer still had eight weeks to go.  The heat wave we had finally broke.  And we welcomed temperatures in the eighties.
