Flowers for the Last Day of July

It's so hard to believe today is the last day of July.  Let's take it easy with some flower pictures.  Actually, I kept busy today, including a birding walk in our local park with my spouse - too bad I don't have any really good pictures to show you, but I did see some butterflies, including at least two black swallowtails and a butterfly that may have been a monarch - or a viceroy.  I'll publish what I was able to photograph in August.  Maybe.

First, some pictures from my front yard this morning.

My hibiscus is finally starting to flower.  We've had a lot of insect problems with it this year.

Tall phlox. 

My day lilies are nearly done but I've chosen several from July 28.  This color reminds me of sherbet.

The lily I unofficially call "Yikes, stripes!" although these weren't the color of the Fruit Stripe Gum of my childhood, or the striped toothpaste they sold back then, either.
I'll return to today for one more.  My large yellow day lilies are nearly done but they are putting on the grand finale today, next to the tall phlox.  Above them the pink flowers are the geraniums my son gave me for Mother's Day.

Now, a bonus. I'll end with my newest daylily purchase - Citrus Kick.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day.  Even if it is the last day of July.

    ...we went to a daylily display garden yesterday and I was surprised by how many buds remain on some of the plants.
