Just when the gardens are beginning to wane in August,
the Cleome is making a big statement in the garden.
(Actually, maybe the gardens aren't waning,
but my interest for pulling weeds is. ;)

This humble flower grows tall, (mine get 3-4 feet high),
and blooms until killing frost.
The best part is I do not plant these beauties.
They come up every year by themselves.
Their seeds are stored in long slender bean pods,
that split open when dry.
The tiny seeds fall to the ground for next year.

Now, who doesn't like self seeding, beautiful flowers ??
A look at what I have been working on...
A new Punch Needle pattern, perfect for Autumn.
Be looking for a giveaway, just as soon as I have this project complete. ;)
