Black-eyed Susans enjoying a Colorado summer.
Toyon bonanza‼️
Last month in Colorado - bighorn sheep walking along US Hwy 34.
While my two big sages duke it out for dominance, the hummingbird sage (Salvia spathacea) just keeps blooming.
Battle of the Sages! White Sage (Salvia apiana) vs ‘Allen Chickering’ Sage (S. clevelandii x leucophylla). The white sage has got the height but the Chickering the mass. In terms of flowers it’s a tie at 3.4 gazillion each.
