I live in Duluth, Minnesota, and have been gardening in this location for 26 years. This is the third time I have submitted photos from my gardens. (See the previous posts: A Garden Full of Art and Flowers and Revisiting Bill’s Garden.)
This time I am submitting photos taken by Sarah Jane Hale, a guest at my Sixth Annual Garden Party.
Gloriosa daisies (Rudbeckia hirta, Zones 3–7 but often grown as an annual) and poppy (Papaver somniferum, annual) seed heads
Sarah and her friend Angie are reflected in a mirror in a vintage window that I built into a garden structure.
