I love these little yellow balls, craspedia globosa or drumstick flower. The Northwest Flower & Garden #NWFGS show never ceases to delight.

Adorable small yellow ball flowers. You can grow them from seed!

Our backyard grape vine is doing pretty well this year. We might get ten bunches! The raccoons decimated the plums but haven’t taken all of these (yet). So sweet and delicious. If you can, plant a grapevine.

One of my favorite images from the NW Flower & Garden Show (#NWFGS) is this bouquet of deep red and yellow callas, with some kind of ball flower inserted into each one. Over a cloud of pale green hydrangeas, naturally.

This just in! These ball flowers are Craspedia (Drumstick Flower)! You can buy seeds!

Finally the warm days have made the tomato thing happen in the garden. Little, but so sweet!

In a friend’s garden, magnificent and simple Japanese anemones. And a bonus shot!

Brilliant yellow-orange centers on ruffly white petals make this a late-summer favorite

Our red table-grape vine has been in the ground two or three years now. This year, with the warm weather, the vine has earned its keep. Side note: These grapes appear to be Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2015, Marsala.

Most of the seedless grapes picked today. So sweet!
