Mystery solved! Someone has finally taken credit for the wild and beautiful garden east of the Circle at the triangle between Dupont Circle, P St. and Massachusetts Ave. I love this garden! I have wondered for months who maintains it. The plant choices are in such good taste and the garden is so well tended that I suspected it was a private citizen (or two, in this case). Thanks, Steve and Phil!
Here is the garden in August, in all its summer glory:

When I first saw this post over at Prince of Petworth, I thought the picture was of the huge pumpkin growing on the old metal grates where Dupont Circle meets P St. (on the east side of the circle). But it turns out that picture is of a completely different pumpkin patch, in the front yard of a house. The Dupont Circle pumpkin is pictured here. It’s difficult to spot because the garden around the grate is in full bloom, but if you look closely you can see it from the sidewalk.
The garden itself is full of lovely wildflowers:
The gigantic pumpkin is a nice surprise in the middle of the garden. As I stopped to take the picture for this post, two different people peered into the garden to see what I was photographing and asked me, “Is that a pumpkin?!?!” Delightful.
