Early Sunday Morning in the Yard


Early in the morning the new day lily blooms look no different from the spent blooms.


Four hours later and the blooms for this day have opened.


What is the white spot in the Siberian iris?


Closer photo shows a zig zag effect. What is going on?  A Charlotte trying to communicate?


I have three varieties of lilies in bloom.


Speedwell no, wrong name.  I can never remember this plant's name, but it just continues to bloom which is nice, but also wants to spread.  I find it in sprouting in so many locations.


A lone yellow among the white shasta daisies.


This petunia is loving its spot.


Looking out to the field with the yellow morning light.  The raised bed's crop of snow peas is finished.


Another view beyond.


The beds with primarily green plantings are lush.



And here is the last harvest of snow peas and sugar snap peas.  As I cut down the plants I kept finding peas to harvest.  I'll plant lettuce again once August rolls around.  All that remains in there are two basil plants.

Our orange daylilies out back are thriving. The cultivars out front are just beginning. We've had our first two.

...that is, Spiderwort-Tradescantia.

I love the lush green bed. And the dotted petunias are new to me--so charming!

Tom is right, Spiderwort, also called radiation plant because supposedly the flowers turn pink in the presence of radiation!
Your lilies, and all your flowers, look beautiful. Ours look beaten down now by too much heat and too much rain.
