Is it already the 15th of July? This year is rushing by and I just want to yell "stop! stop!". It seems like fall will arrive in the next two or three days and, as much as I don't like the heat where I live in the Southern Tier, zone 6a, I like winter even less.
And why is my Wordless Wednesday post on Tuesday?
It's because today is the 15th day of the month, and it's time for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, brought to us by Carol at May Dreams Gardens. On the 15th of the month we show what is blooming in our yards or homes. And, my time is limited this week (meaning also that I may not get to your blogs right away, and I apologize). So I can't do both a Tuesday and a Wednesday post.
But please stop for a minute, breathe deep, and admire Nature's beauty below.
July, in my front and side yards, mean day lilies, and I have so many I can't even show you all of them. So first, some of my other flowers.
Sweet peas, which reseeded all over the flower bed. These are also, shall we say, vigerous.
Same for these cranebill geraniums. Is there a pattern developing here?
Bee balm.
Hosta. I also have white blooming ones, but I didn't get around to taking their pictures.
Onto the day lilies. The names are buried in the mists of time (and, probably, my blog, but I don't have time to look. And I have lots more but I don't want to overwhelm this blog. Right now I don't have software for a collage.
Last, but not least.
Besides Garden Bloggers Bloom Day (go to Carol's blog, link above, to see what others are posting) I am joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for her #WordlessWednesday.
I love your garden
ReplyDeleteWhen flowers grow without you planting them, or they have reseeded themselves, they are a gift, sometimes too generous, but lovely to see.
ReplyDelete...your day lilies are putting on a fine show.
ReplyDeleteGreat blooms! Thanks for sharing them. Happy Bloom Day.
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteJuly is beautiful in your garden. What a wonderful collection of Daylilies. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous daylilies! I like your sweet pea color. We have the purple loosestrife here, very invasive. Too bad, it's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the year is just flying by. They're doing the Christmas in July sales now, and we just know that Christmas will be here before we know it.
ReplyDeleteI have the same impression about time, when I think about it. But I exercise the non thinking about this subject... Sometimes could be useful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for these moments between your beautiful flowers. There are some lilies there, that are new for me.
Happy WW, Alana and enjoy your garden!❤️😘
Right now it is lily season. We see them in all colors, sizes, and varieties on our walks. The majority are yellow but we love to see the other colors.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is most beautiful and very colorful. Well done. You have an amazing green thumb.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Beautiful floral photos from your lovely garden ~ thanks

The flowers are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI wish my daylily collection was half as good as yours, Alana. It looks as though summer is treating you and your garden very well.
ReplyDeleteYour blooms are all looking so pretty and I love your collection of lilies with all the different colors and textures. I am especially drawn to the ruffled one!
ReplyDeleteYou have so may lovely flowers...envy you the sweet peas, which I tried growing in my garden but our summers are too hot here in Virginia. And dayliles to die for!
