By the end of July Morning Glories top the pergolas and start to pile up. By the end of August they will amass quite a bit of greenery. These pictures show the calm before the deluge of greenery occurs in the upcoming weeks.

The view
F8, 1/320, ISO200, 135mm
Cleome and Sunflowers
F11, 1/60. ISO200, 57mm
These are the two main flowers I am now growing. I introduced Cleome into the garden again this year and it is a prolific seeder. This sunflower was a volunteer from its ancestor’s seed sown last fall. Plants that reseed themselves and grow on their own next year is a goal of the Bucktown Garden.
A bumblebee

A bumblebee stops by when I had the camera set to F11 so the shutter speed was slow and thus the blur. From now on I’ll put the shooting info in the caption.
Veranda Cleome
Pink Cleome blooming amongst morning glories on NW corner veranda. Cleome is a big tough plant. We’ll see how this plant fares when the morning glories get big.
