Well, the lilies are STILL blooming, and more are opening up every day. Most of these came from starts we got at Powell Gardens, during their Blooms and Booms Festival. But some came from Mom, and we treasure every one. She shared some of her pink hydrangea flowers with us on our trip down south, so I wanted to include a picture of her pretty-in-pink flowers here. Out here in the country, they call daylilies "ditch lilies", those "common" orange daylilies brightening all the highways and byways during hot summer days and nights, while the hybrids glorify our gardens--good relatives to have around.
The weather has changed, we actually have a drier week this week, but I expect more rain, only because it seems to be that way this summer. Oh well, good gardening what with everything in bloom. Our roses are back into their second bloom cycle now too. And the black raspberries should be turning black now down here in our woodsy patch. And our blackberries up in the field patch should be ripening after July 4th. Looking forward to that!
The red flowers are all over a cactus plant I got from Mom years ago, from her friend who used to have a hobby greenhouse. I put it outside last year in desperation, and it bloomed a few flowers. This year, it is really celebrating the 4th with fire cracker red blooms, all over the plant!
Happy Fourth of July!
