On this 155th commemoration of the (so-called) end of slavery, racism is alive and well in trumpworld.  Between that and the rising COVID cases and deaths among all ages, due to denial and reckless negligence encouraged by trump, it’s a mad, mad world out there.  I’m trying to ignore the news, it’s so beyond insane.

Instead, here are more rainbow flower colors, to celebrate the diversity of all species.  I’m particularly pleased to see an Italian zucchini variety I tried this year, starting to do something.  The little purple buds are purple pole bean flowers.  The balloon flowers started opening today.  And bees are a-pollinating.  The last pic is an unopened zinnia bud.
