Helenium is a genus of annuals and deciduous herbaceous perennials in the sunflower family native to the Americas.
They bear yellow or orange daisy-like composite flowers. A number of these species (particularly Helenium autumnale) have the common name sneezeweed, based on the former use of their dried leaves in making snuff. It was inhaled to cause sneezing that would supposedly rid the body of evil spirits. Larger species may grow up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall.
The genus is named for Helen of Troy, daughter of Zeus and Leda. Helenium species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Phymatopus behrensii.
Numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use - mainly from H. autumnale and H. bigelovii. They are useful for late summer and fall bloom, usually in less formal compositions. They are appropriate for native gardens in areas where they are indigenous, and they look wonderfully in bouquets. Annual species are easily grown from seed, and perennials should be divided every year in order to retain their vigor. The soil should be fertile with a generous amount of organic manner in the form of compost, manure or other decayed organic matter in addition to, perhaps, an application of a complete fertilizer in spring. Heleniums should be grown in full sun average to moist soil with good drainage. They are drought tolerant, but should be watered on planting and regularly until established. The following have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit:-

Helenium Hybrid has brilliant yellow petals surrounding spherical brown cones covered with golden pollen. It grows to 0.9 metres (3 ft) tall and takes up about 0.6 metres (2 ft) of space, the hardiness zone rating is 4-9. Its Flowers appear for six weeks from mid to late summer and attract butterflies in droves. It provides a splash of colour when many other perennials are starting to fade, it may accompany ornamental grasses, Phlox and Liatris.
The UK National Collection of Heleniums is located at Yew Tree House, Hall Lane, Hankelow near Audlem in Cheshire.

These heleniums were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

The plastic earth screws were no match for Bruno. We’ve had lots of visits from this bear and/or it’s friends.
In your garden, pull up any dead plants and lay them on the ground around healthy plants. You can also chop them up and mix them into the soil.
While leaves changing color in the fall are dying, they are not dead. A cold snap will kill the leaves the same as it will on the leaves of most your other plants.
I was dumping some yard debris and spotted a few of these. I didn't have any plans on photographing, but...
I used a small puck light due to the bright backdrop and took 60 images for my stack. I had hoped to capture the back valance, but this guy was very short.
We were surprised to look out to see these sweet ladies in our yard. One of them was very interested in our compost!
I feel terrible for wildlife lately because the air quality is horrendous due to the Canadian wildfires. For several days it’s been in the “unhealthy” and “very unhealthy” range, with a constant haze in the air. While we have the option of closing windows & filtering our air, they do not.
I've hardly finished some work on a rather neglected compost át the back of friends' veggie garden when several neigbours from the adjacent National Park arrived to appreciate my work. The Satin Bowerbirds came in numbers and allowed me to observe their likes and dislikes, as well as the way they deal with the food on offer. TBC

Superb Fairy-wrens were particularly observant and appeared already while I was busy with the compost and they seemed to be working alongside me.

We’ve been taking steps to impact the earth less and minimize our waste, such as reducing our plastic use and purchasing less. One thing I’ve been wanting to do for a while is to start composting again (we weren’t very successful with it several years ago), and after researching it for a while, we finally started. The bin works great for this environment because we tend to get a lot of dampness & humidity here. Plus, it’s made from untreated cedar instead of plastic. The pail is for keeping on our kitchen counter and is perfect, complete with a filter to keep the smells in the pail.
I was a little bothered that my photographer friend was able to whip out his phone and get la perfect HDR in one shot, so I took it as a challenge. I consider this as much digital art as photography, and not really the kind of photo I strive for
My compost bin has little vents, and a few have been webbed over to various degrees. This one seemed to be watching ...

Azenhas do Mar: Miradouro
Mais fotos
O Miradouro das Azenhas do Mar está construído sobre arribas que descem sem medo até ao Oceano. É um local muito frequentado tanto no Verão como no Inverno, pela grandiosidade da vista que proporciona. Ali, pode apreciar-se o Oceano Atlântico em todo o seu esplendor, e, com um pouco de sorte, ver passar, lá ao longe, navios de pesca.
Do lado direito, vê-se um dos núcleos centrais da povoação, composta por pequenas casas brancas, debruadas a azul, como que esculpidas nas rochas que descem até ao mar.
No local existe também um pequeno snack-bar com uma agradável esplanada, muito concorrida aos domingos de manhã.

When I saw these lovely orange ones sitting near my compost pile today I was quite thrilled and spent some time on my hands and knees in the rain trying to get an interesting shot. Hubby laughed when I came in and said. "Did you fall in? You are dirtier than the cat on a rainy day!"
On its way to the compost bin...
Most of the strawberries were lovely - this one seems to be growing rather a lot of mould !!!!!
This frozen weather is fantastic for landscape photography, but... not so good for our pipes; we have been without water now for 12 days! The really good thing that has come out of this difficult situation is that it has helped me develop some insight into how millions of people in other countries have to live. We already have a monthly direct debit for water aid, but I now know just how lucky we are in this developed country.
This image was made with a new telephoto lens whilst I was scouting for a place to dig a hole...

Macro Mondays - Trick or Treat
Some years ago we warned local children that if they threw eggs at our house when denied a treat their compost heap would become infested with ghoulish horrors.
This creature was recently found on one of their garden paths - clearly tortured to reveal the location of where where others might be hiding. You have been warned!
No apples were actually harmed during the capture of this individual, it's a mock up.
Trash- It seems to me after review of the pictures before me, we could do a lot of composting and recycling to reduce the world waste stream. Unfortunately this tea bag creates landfill in it's packaging. The acid loving plants enjoy the tea bag it's self. I start the day creating waste, perhaps a different brand in the future.
The Flickr Lounge-Made Of Wood
These are wood pallets we got from a local business to use for our compost bins. The Rhubarb is growing on the left side and a volunteer Delicata Squash is growing in front of the bin.
Four months ago I took this picture because I felt so captivated by the ordinary details I found in these pieces of peppers I had sliced that were to be discarded. Even though this would become compost material I really appreciated the colors, shapes, and light I saw here. I find “real” food/fresh produce so beautiful and interesting in appearance and love how I feel so thankful and excited when thinking about the nutrients and benefits fresh produce provides for our bodies. I’m thankful I took the time to capture what I saw.
