August 10, 2012 -- celosia

A perfectly beautiful day. Relatively cool, a little breezy, and overcast most of the day. A gift for August, especially since it rained last night. I gardened almost all day, and that gardening involved pulling out lots of celosia so other plants could breathe. I hate pulling out anything that's blooming, but it was necessary today. In this bottle are two pretty celosia plumes that would have otherwise wound up in e compost heap.
