In the Yard

Lots of things happening in the garden here at home.  Mrs. F.G. has created a genuine oasis of interesting plants which are all unfolding as summer progresses.  Steady sun and warmth recently has helped them.  Clematis and Hostas are blooming, and Day Lilies are about to burst.  Still occasional birds stopping to visit, notably the Cardinal and Blue Jay.

Two of the new Clematis flowers

 Pinks that are really pink!


 Reddish-brown Pansies that I like

Canna Lily on the deck

 One of several succulents in our tiny scree garden, with gravel for mulch

 Cabbage White - can you spot it?

 Cardinal and Blue Jay in the grass

I think this is our tiniest Hosta in bloom

A month ago it wasn't the Hosta but the tiny succulent in front of it in bloom.

  1. Beautiful! You have given me a good idea for my post tomorrow, since I won't be hiking, I'll take flower pictures so everyone can enjoy them, as much I hope as I have enjoyed yours. :-)

  2. The Clematis are like velvet, but that Canna, with furled leaves as well is a stunner. How Mrs F.G. has managed all this is truly amazing .

  7. Clematis seem to be putting on a real show this year. My garden group is showing amazing displays. Mine are easily triple the size they were any other year.

  12. Everything is wonderful to see. You clematis is a great color. You have a canna that is blooming, Mine is not. It looks like there are a lot of great things to see there. You even have the red and blue birds to help decorate the lawn. I don’t see bluejays where I have now moved.
