wordless wednesday - the start of fall blooms

I share with you......A few flowers

I love the Echinacea or cone flowers as many call them. The birds love them too! I have a small patch in back that don't bloom until late summer. This one is in the front garden. These red, red Asiatic lilies are out at the end of our driveway with some other lilies and the iris.

Another Asiatic lily that is in the garden outside the window. The orange is just soooo vibrant.

The colors!

This is one of the new ones I planted last year. It is a day lily. Peachy orange in color.

Good sized bloom.Here is a photo taken from the same angle (more or less) as the one from this post. The Asiatic lilies are starting to really bloom! Oh....that red birdhouse has a family in residence! Click these photos to enlarge them. The colors show much better then.

Sometimes I amazed at the brilliance of the colors! They are so totally awesome! Notice the little yellow day lilies trying to peak out in the middle of this? Will have to make a note to move them.

Wordless Wednesday - I couldn't choose so you get two!

nature's beauty

This is the time of year I really enjoy the flower garden in front of the house. As you can see in the background we are expanding this year but I wanted to share with you the graceful foxglove. It appears to be dancing, bending and swaying to the music ....don't you think?

My first lily of the year. Sooo many buds.

It is exciting as I planted many new varieties last year.



The simplicity of these. I don't remember what they are called. They are in the daisy family. Tall, dainty and with heads upturned looking for the sun!
