Lovely flowers (and butterflies and sky!), Susie. That peach foxglove is particularly beautiful.
Thanks Eliza. I’m so pleased with the foxglove–only one of five plants that made it.
Gorgeous. I love the ‘Husker Red’ with the white and blue touches around it. And the daylily glows like hot metal.
Thanks HB. I like penstemons and have tried others but ‘Husker Red’ is the only one that feels at home in my garden.
Lots of beautiful color, Susie. I look forward to dahlia season, although my plants are trailing yours, My one Buddleja appears to be hunkering down with not a bloom in sight.
My dahlias are very slow too Kris and so are the zinnias, even though it’s been plenty hot. Hope the buddleja wakes up to support your butterflies.
Crayola could borrow some of these colors – beautiful!
You identified my color scheme, Judy! Mixed box of crayons. I loved the rare times when we had a 64-count box, the colors and their names fascinated me.
You are in full bloom with so many colorful flowers.
The garden here is faring better than last year. I keep watering but rain would be nice.
We have a slim chance of rain next week. Hope you get some too.
Celebrating a beautiful summer day with you. Love the Buddleia.
Thanks Amy. I do love a summer day and the light this solstice week has been exquisite.
