September 9


The phlox seeds are reaching maturity, clusters of brown spherical pods that sit on top of the plants as remnants of where not too long ago their blossoms of pinks and whites lay resplendent for the hummingbirds.

Now in the warmth of the September sun, on particularly still days we have begun to hear them popping open, one or two every few minutes. The seed is flung wide, leaving the sere brown husk to fall lightly down to the ground.

Pumpkins on display at the farm.
