The Stars Are Here! The Stars Are Here!

The stargazer lilies that is!  They are the pink and white ones.  The white ones opened too but I don't know their name.


Here's what they looked like earlier this week.


And now!





And more are yet to open.




Now there are other blooms in the garden.  Coleus and New Guinea impatiens are loving the wet weather.


Shasta daisies going strong.



Newly opened day lilies but ...



as of today they are gone.  Not from blooms being done but deer having dessert.  It has not been my year for day lilies.


Purple cone flowers in full array.



Black eyed susans blooming, too.


But the rain has taken a toil on the creeping thyme.


This is what it should look like but there are sections looking like above all through the paths of the perennial garden.


Another day lily just a distant memory now.


The geraniums have recovered yet again from being on the meal plan.


And last but not least the liatris is blooming for the first time ever.
