Garden Pix

These flowers are just so cheery! Click image to enlarge for a slide show.
Lilies are so reliable. When I look at catalogs, I just want to order them in dozens.
Pale peach with green throats - pretty lilies.
Neglect has allowed the berry canes to run rampant, producing a treat for the birds.
Triple-flowered lilies, a legacy from our dear former neighbor Edna.
We have yellow Cosmos and orange Cosmos and a few that look hand-painted.
Along with the first cicada song and sighting of goldfinches this week, we had the first purple spires on the Butterfly Bush.

Hope your garden is providing you with enough enjoyment to make up for all the work of tending it!

  1. Beautiful flowers. You are so lucky that the deer have not eaten them all.

    1. There aren't very many. You would love Seattle, where huge hedges of blackberries grow wild all over. People use goats to keep the growth down where it is unwanted.

  3. On Woodland Ave, lilies are blooming their heads off for us, but only with frequent and generous doses of Liquid Fence--we are overrun with packs of deer that devour them.
