Beautiful flowers, Roses, especially the lilies. I'm jealous that you don't have the lily beetles. I use Monterey Garden Insect Spray with spinosad to combat them, an organic product. Has to be sprayed as soon you you notice the beetles, then maybe once or twice more during the season. Lilies need checking periodically for the adults and larvae. If any are spotted, the spray again. Hosing them off helps, too. The larvae do much more damage than the adults.

Nice garden tour, Jo.

Celeste, those phlox are beauties.

Iris, nice shot of that 'Elfin Shadows'.

Here are some lily shots from last summer. Can't wait till they bloom again this year.
