The Chicory is in full bloom.  The roadsides are blue in the mornings.  Alfalfa is blooming. Red clover (no much for the honey bees, but the bumbles love it).  American Chestnut.  Wild Cucumber.  Ironweed.  Joe Pye Weed.  Milkweed.  Some native thistles have been blooming for a while.

The sourwood is all done.  The bees have moved on to the clover, catnip, and other random flowers in the yard.  And they want to clean my stickies again.

Always wondered what your zones were. Are those temperatures related to minimum averages for winter?

I'm 5b.For a year, back when global warming was taking place, they bumped us to 6.  By the next year, when global warming didn't happen, we went back to 5b.

This year has been a bit different, here at the end of July going into August the last two weeks have cooled off enough with plenty of rain. So here we are with Dandilion, Persian clover, blackeye susans and other wild flowers blooming again. I have not seen that here for many years usually now we are dry with nothing blooming worth mentioning. I was also looking at the goldenrod this morning and it is much further along than usual so it will probably bloom a bit earlier than usual.

I posted a really bad pic of goldenrod a few days ago, but it?s starting to pop, and I see more while driving now. It?s not full on fall flow, but we have had a lot of rain the last 3 weeks or so.
