However do you manage to have so many flowers!
Esther
Thank you, Karen. July explodes!
You are very kind, Esther. Thank you. My gardens have been evolving for over 35 years. These daylilies are over 25 years old and still going strong! My blog has lots of photos throughout the seasons. Enjoy!
Hi Rose. The rain was a blessing for sure! While gone, I thought the garden might be 'toast' but fared well. However, our watering bills are horrific!
Thank you, Andrea. You are always so kind. Actually, these were done in Picasa.
Also your opening quote is intriguing ~ I'd really like to hear the breaking of blooms!
Everything looks beautiful.
ps I noticed on the "about me" on the sidebar ~ it says "ho hum housewife" ~ you seem anything but. In fact I would say it seems you are very accomplished!
Your photos are as usual always fabulous! I am in awe right now with the shatsas, daylilies, phlox and roses.
Eileen
Beautiful as always!!
A fun shoot, imac. Thank you.
You are a dear, Kathleen. Thank you, as are you accomplished! The flower is an ivy geranium, actually several years old. It vacations inside in winter.
July lovely, Eileen. Thank you. Just returned from visiting your lovely garden. All looks grand!
Thanks fun friend, Shady :)
