Today's flowers in the garden.

Today's flowers in my garden.  Some past prime, like the white daisies, which were abundant this year. But now they are brown pods of stalks mostly.
Some of the flowers are at prime, like the cone flowers, which are bigger this year, purple ones and white ones.

Some in between prime and past prime, like the peach hued lilies and the small purple puffs of alum and the brilliant red of the bee balm.

 Some barely beginning to come into prime like the Rose of Sharon bush.

 See if you can find the black and white striped butterfly in the middle of one of the photos. Hint, in this photo.
