July Blooms

This is the day we arrive in NH and take position of our new apartment.  No time yet to blog so
I'm going back in time to repost blogs from my past. 
This one appeared six years ago today.  [Tried to go back 7 years and couldn't open those posts to edit.]

The stargazer lilies opened this morning!  I've been patiently waiting for this day.  Soon their fragrance will fill the perennial garden.



But they are not the only bloomers at present here are some of the others who are adding colors other than green to my gardens.

In Mom's Garden (formerly the Front Garden):


black-eyed susan


hydrangea - a smaller version of itself after the hard winter


lamb's ear


crepe myrtle

In the Pond Garden:


phlox


daylily

In the Glen Garden:


hostas


astillbe (I think)

In the Perennial Garden:


shasta daisies


purple cone flower


another day lily variety


another day lily


another day lily


and this lovely day lily that has been blooming for weeks


knock out rose


liatris


As I was posting this, a heron landed in the backyard directly outside my window.  I grabbed my camera but my movement startled it and it flew off.  I wonder if its looking to come gold fishing in my pond?

  3. You have got wonderful flowers in your garden, so colourful. if you have a pond, then the Heron will know you have fish for him to eat!! Now about the question of the white flowers in my post, I cannot tell you what they are. there are a lot of white flowers that look similar and I am always confused about them. There is Cow Parsley and that is a possibility. Sorry I cannot help but thanks for visiting my blog, I appreciate your comment.

  4. Hi Marcia, I certainly have enjoyed reading your posts from your Cotswolds Walking Tour in England. FANTASTIC.

    Love seeing your gardens... Looks as if most things have recovered from that rough winter.... Our lilies have almost bloomed out ---but we still have oodles of daylilies... AND--the roses are doing good (and will continue to bloom til late Fall.

    I need to get creative with my 'gardens' here...Instead of calling them the Road Flowerbed, Side Flowerbed, etc... I need to name each one something nicer (like yours)...

    Hugs,
    Betsy
