I planted two Stokesia last year and lost both overwinter. Seeing yours blooming, I'm disappointed all over again.
Marnie
Well done Joey.

Astilbes, always a delight to see this time of year in areas where you do not expect vivid flowers.

Hi Di and thank you. Actually, it's in the 60s this AM, truly delightful and I should be in the garden taking advantage of this gift!
Thank you, dear Marnie. I do so enjoy painting with plants :)
Thanks Karen, it was fun to shoot ... BTW, so enjoyed your last post!
Hi Clare and thank you. So much is blooming in the garden, it's hard to keep up and impossible to photograph. Daylilies are in their glory ... you can almost hear them pop!
Thanks imac ... it did take quite some time :) Collages work well to view sections of a large garden like mine.
Hello, dear Kiki, and thank you for the fun thought ... love the term 'eye candy'.
Welcome Sylvana and thank you. Perennial gardens do require much thought and lots of work to keep neat and tidy.
I love my bench, Eileen, and thank you for the lovely comment. June is a stunning month!
Please do come, Lindalou, and bring that cutie, Luke :)
June was indeed wonderful, Rosey, and thank you. Happy July gardening :)
Thanks Rick ... happy shooting :)
Wow, thanks Kala :)
Thank you, dear Ronelle. Blue & white do cool the garden down. Happy July!
Thanks IG ... if it wasn't so early in the morning, perhaps!
June snuck by all too quickly - my beautiful girlies are both a year older, but I'm not a year wiser!
It's been so hot here today I couldn't garden - unknown!I could really do with some rain on my plants - do you think rain dancing across the Atlantic is in your skills list?! :D
Liz, you are 'the bestest' and love your flowery comments (keep them coming, dear friend)! Happy July gardening :)
You are a dear, Cameron, and so enjoy visiting heavenly vignettes of your garden also. Wishing us both ... stunning July gardens.
Hi dear Shady ... thanks fun friend :)
Hope you find this flaming beauty, dear Kate! I think you two would have a fun time together!
Not used to seeing so many pics in one post.
They say Shasta Daisy is perennial here...but never had any come back.
Thank you, Patsi. I do have lots going on and much more popping throughout July, much that I will be missing while away. Wishing you a beautiful holiday weekend.
Hi, dear Rose, and yes those are indeed Annabelles (have another bunch by the side of the garage, perfect pruned plant for shoveled snow.) I admit ... I am not a sower of seeds ... these beauties were from the local Farmer's Market! Happy 4th :)
happy july.
Love the heart shaped heart in mosaic #1!
Love the winding path made out of stones...I simply LoVe summer gardens!Your garden is an oasis I can see!Happy summertime and have a wonderful day in your garden! anna
Thanks Wendy :) I'm missing the garden, wondering what I'm missing here at the cottage.
Thanks Christine :)
Hi dear Marmee ... blessed to enjoy 2 pieces of heaven, thank you for your kind thoughts.
Anna, thank you dear friend. I'm on vacation, trying to enjoy life here at the lake house with family while my garden back home is blooming away without me.
Thank you, Wendy. Plump and lush, July is daylily heaven here. Wish I could keep up on all photos to show you each and every proud face, waiting to bloom for one single day ... I honor the daylily!
