Wonderful Mesem in sunset hues.
Beautiful, but deadly "Velvet Ant". Really a wingless wasp with a nasty sting. First and only one I've ever seen in the wild.

Very vigorous and prolific Clematis X "Jackmanii"
Papaver somniferum just busting at the seams.
 I love the tension and power that's evident in flower buds.
Almost free.

One of my favorites, Convolvulus X "Ensign Blue".


Another annual favorite, Gazania. each petal is dressed like a Masai warrior.




One of the little dragonflies that arrive in the late summer.
Annual Coreopsis. I've been saving the seeds for decades and have come up with some really great colors and textures.

Teasel in bud.
In full bloom. bees love 'em.
