Really great photo. If I was buzzed I would end up staring at it for a lot longer than I already have.
BTW, I recognized everything except for the golden colored frond behind the Glads. Is it Goldenrond?
heya friend,, great observations, indeed,,
ya know,, that plant is native to the okanagan area where i live,, i have a plant in my garden but i see the plant around the area in mid to late summer.
i actually do not know what that plant is called. very pretty tho,, great for cuttings,, like you mentioned, golden fronds at the top that spread out nicely,, long straight stalks for easy use
now ya got me needing to know,, thanks friend
cheers to ya,,
