These are sedum buds. This plant normally flowers near the end of August or early September and makes a colorful fall bloom.
Even when the bloom fade it’s dead flowers on their dried stalks are quite pretty to leave in place through the winter.

A Bumble bee paying a visit to the New York Asters
I certainly enjoy my New York Asters when they bloom each Fall, but it looks like the Bumble Bees do as well! I often see them traveling to the flowers and then going off somewhere with their back legs covered in pollen. Such interesting creatures.
I’m actually extremely allergic to bees, but I don’t have a problem with the bumble bees in my garden. We coexist peacefully and as I said I enjoy watching them collecting pollen from my large variety of flowers within my garden.
These are the seed pods of the crocosmia plant. I don’t know why I find seeds and seed pods so interesting, but you have to admit that these seeds and seed pods contrast with the green foliage around them nicely.
In July I posted a photo of Crocosmia blossoms.
