Beautiful photos. I love that white gladiola, which I wouldn’t have even identified as such without your label.

Love the images, the Rudbeckia is my favorite with the blurry blue sky backdrop. I have been trying (the key word) to grow Liatris..yours are lovely.

I brought that liatris from my previous house. It’s the clumping kind not the runner (have runners too which I’m constantly battling).

Wow – it’s a beautiful day at your house. That gorgeous flower may be broken, but it still steals the show.

Thanks Cathy. That lily may have to go. It takes up a lot room and the flowers fade so quickly the plant just looks messy unless you catch it just right.
