It looks like Ithuriel's Spear. It is a common wildflower out here, but a lovely one.
I think every proper garden should include a snogging hedge.
I don't know if it is normal, but mine is doing the same thing. Started mid-July.
First harvest of peaches (probably about 1/3 of what is on the tree, not counting the pecked up fruit[ATTACH] the wild birds destroyed).
I have seen people set up slings to keep the melon from tearing off the vine if the fruit gets too heavy. An old pantyhose works, or anything you...
Repotted about ten awapuhi ginger rhizomes. I will keep some, but the rest will go to a fundraising plant sale next spring (if we are doing that...

Probably too late in the season (mid-summer), but I am trying to propagate some of my oregano from cuttings. Just put them in today, so we will see.
A day behind, but yesterday, started some more bush beans, hoping I can squeak out a harvest before the weather turns. My container tomatoes are...
Day 4. Some changes, but I don't know yet whether they are mushrooms. [ATTACH]
