    1. Thank you, Tina. The angles of the sun this time of year sure do work their magic. ;-)

  2. I love seeing the sunlight through the backs of flowers! My first tithonia blossom finally opened two days ago, hurray! I have 'Torch'.

    1. Yay! Enjoy! They are magical blooms, aren’t they? It’s great to see pollinators on them, too. :)

  3. Backlighting makes a beautiful bloom even more so!

  6. Tricky to get sunbeams without lens flare. And perfect for a Tithonia a queen of late Summer. Brava, and have fun at the upcoming Fling. I'll be wishing I was there (unless they get a heat wave).

    1. I have mixed feelings about September. It's a beautiful month, but the days get shorter so fast. Lovely things still blooming, though...until mid-October with the first frost. :(

  10. My Tithonia didn't reseed itself this year. They are now on my seed wish list for spring. Your beautiful picture made me realize how much my butterflies miss them.

    1. Thanks. They are such pollinator magnets, and so lovely, too. I always start them from seed indoors during late winter/early spring. :)
