Summer ...show your pic's # 2

LeawoodGardner,your gardens are beautiful,I too like the trellis over the door,great idea.

Iam starting to get that cottage look,or well ,the messy look !!!

huggergirl, I LOVE that cottage look. It's so bright and cheerful. Did you plant the perennials that way or did you toss a handful of seeds?

LeawoodGardener, that is quite an elegant entryway to a garage, and your water lilies are so gorgeous. What is the ground cover surrounding them?

peony8,I had 2 groups of cones there, dug 1 out and planted zinnias,larspur popped up,also candytuft popped, Iam real happy with that spot,dissapointed in other areas,trial and error,even after 25 yrs of gardening!!!

in full bloom.

ornamental oregano
Looking good
This is my first year to try this . I am pleased.

very cool. I have never seen flowers like that on oregano.

I love my lilies.

My daisies.

One of my favorite daylilies.

Here's the part of the flower bed.

Here's a new section. Right now I just have black eye susans and daisies but theres a bunch of different perennials in their first year and they are tiny. I can't wait to see what happens next year.

Gardengus - that lily is simply gorgeous...and with so many blooms.

Roserairie - like your flowerbed too. What are those two spiky yellow blooms in the left/center? I don't recognize them.

gardengus, LOVE that ornamental oregano! Where did you find that?

roserairie, beautiful beds- nicely done!

that yellow plant is Little Rocket - Ligularia.

Cosmos reseeded very thickly this year. These are in front of my roses and the front porch.

I put down some cosmos seeds but I haven't seen anything. I wondered if all the rain we got in the spring washed the seeds away. I think they were tiny seeds.

Here is my Zebrina Mallow started from seeds.

gemini,
I purchased the oregano at an herbal fair. The lady said it is not hardy here so she grows it in a pot then cuts it back and winters it over in her garage. This is a division of her plant.
I am going to try to do the same.

Leawood, can i see how you attach that lattice to your brick wall?

geminisage, love your pic. What is the red flower. Is that a glad?

I was out of town for a week and my giant trumpet lilies were in full bloom when I went out to water this morning.

Here's a closer view.

My Oriental Lilies are also in full bloom now.

Ooops. Wrong photo. Here's the correct Oriental lily photo.

It's fun to see everyone's summer flowers. Quite an array!

Lea, as usual your blooms are elegant!

A few of my butterfly nectar flowers, and a fritillary included:

Everyone seems to have these common ditch lilies around here but they were so tall and vibrant this year I thought I'd post.

I saw those all thru southeastern Indiana a few weeks ago when we went to see our daughter. Would have liked to take a picture, but there wasn't a shoulder where we could pull off to take it. There were thousands of them, literally in the ditches by the side of the road.

The 'Stargazer' lilies opened today - the fragrance from this and the other lilies fills the whole garden with a wonderful aroma.

These deep red daylilies fascinate me.

These bright orange daylilies make a wonderful statement.

The bright yellow center of this red daylily makes it a standout in the garden.

I think the brightest ones in my garden today would have to be these, and they are huge too.

Today it must be the orange ones looking for attention.

That orange with the stripe looks like one I have - do you know the name?

Sorry, I am not good at keeping track of names. I trade for most of my day lilies so I often do not get the name.

No name either for this one, but it is pretty.

This sexy rexy has so many blooms I had to tie it to the railing.

This glad is almost a neon pink.

These are pretty in pots by the front door. Planted the seed, but do not recall what it is called.
