The hops gradually start to turn brown in late fall.

I like the orange accents in the heart of this sunflower.

Although I am highly allergic to them, I love these coneflowers.

These late-summer daisies are so striking.

We don’t actually use the hops to brew anything, but we love these fast-growing vines and watching them grow every summer.

It seems a long time ago now that these allium were blooming, at the beginning of June.
