All three pics are rotated 90degrees clockwise.
No way to correct that.
Volunteerr pumpkin bloom in my compost pile....well, next to it.
Experiment survivor: I scattered some English daisy seeds last year, not knowing if our climate is too much for them. I thought none had survived, but all of a sudden I see two of them soldiering on.
And finally, my very first Stoke's Aster(stokesia) bloom, after planting 10 seeds last spring and babying the six survivors along an entire year, including sheltering them from light freezes this past winter, just in case. It may just look like a common flower, but this is an important native species for polinators. Yay

Is that for this site,though? I can easily rotate my photos entered in my gallery, but when I import them to this site, they are wrong.
@MikeInBatonRouge . My idea then is to correct the photo, then make sure you save it in your file folder. Then you can upload it from there.
@OldGoat43 not sure I follow your meaning. It is aleady correct in my phone's photo gallery. It rotates wrong when I import it to the agnostic site. Are you saying I should create a separate file folder to import from instead of straight from the gallery?
(I never was the biggest tech expert)
@MikeInBatonRouge . It's difficult for me to figure out from my lack of view. All I was trying to say was to save the image again and give it a new name after you straightened it out. Then try to upload the new image.
@OldGoat43 okay. The photos are straight up until I import them to agnostic.com. something on this site is messing it up, and for some other folks on here, too, but apparently not for most people, it seems.
Very nice photos. I have had my own disappointments with English Daisies over the years. The clue for growing them is truly in the name; if your climate resembles England, you'll have a good chance of having them thrive. Otherwise, just buy little pots of them and enjoy them for a while.

Agreed! Actually, it was only after I has scattered those seeds that I started learning and getting enthused about using and promoting native species to support the food web. No more English daisies for me. I planted hellebores, too, from seed, which is a very slow process, so they are grandfathered into my garden, but I wouldn't do it over. Now I want to use at least hybrid cousins or offspring of natives, and by native I mean native to within a few hundred miles of here. I grow a lot of roses, which are all hybrids, but at least there are native species, and the local bugs definitely know what to do with them. 
I avoid the invasive multiflora roses.
@MikeInBatonRouge you make me proud 
Can I adopt you? I need a new gson. The old one broke. lol
@MikeInBatonRouge There was an excellent program on PBS about how important native species are and what native means.
@freeofgod well, thanks! But I AM only 10 years younger than you, lol.
@freeofgod was Doug Tallamy involved in the PBS special? He is an entymologist(sp?) who is being called the father of the movement to turn residential properties back into functioning habitat with plant food sources to support the native bugs needed to feed the birds and animals. He pointed out that the notion that there is still adequate wilderness still able to be preserved is a vain hope. Only less than 5% of land area in the 48 states remains unspoiled by human activities, so we HAVE to share our towns with the other creatures. Otherwise the whole eco-web will collapse, as we are already starting to see, with massive insect species die-off. Tallamy is a sort of (humble) guru, and absolutely justifiably so.
@MikeInBatonRouge I don't remember. I never know how old anything is on PBS. Sometimes they just run random programs with no info.
@freeofgod I will search their online archives
