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:

and this lovely day lily that has been blooming for weeks

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?
