Candy stripe cosmos (the only cosmos seeds that grew in the curb strip)
Mystery volunteer...might be my favorite volunteer ever
Globe mallow, blackfoot daisy and bronze fennel blooms
Globe mallow and blackfoot are curb strip champions! (Sadly, so is the spurge in the bottom right...trying to get a handle on it)
Backyard: Thryallis, bronze fennel, zinnias, fireworks gomphrena and lemongrass

Bluebeard has started blooming again (anticipating fall, perhaps?)

You have so many beautiful blooms. That Firebush is huge! I just planted one last year and the hummingbirds adore it. Love the cosmos and Zinnias. They are so pretty!
Your garden is looking gorgeous! I love that mystery volunteer too. If you find out what it is, I hope you'll let us know.
Beautiful garden! and I've never a seen a spider do that?
I see we have several plants in common and I'm glad to see that you, too, have a soft spot for "volunteers"!
Love the garden spider. I always look for them at this time of year, but haven't found any in my garden yet.
Yes, the mystery volunteer is the shaggy portulaca. You will likely always have it but only starting in September.
I think your mystery volunteer is a native portulaca. I believe Jenny has some pictures of some on her blog post this time as well.
