Garden Tour 7/25/18

Rainy week.  Reported 11 1/2 inches as of this noon.  Ventured out between showers this afternoon.

The first marigold.
Thank you, Jeanne, for the seeds.
 

Toes!
Thank you, Ruby, for the prickly pear.

Lilies are loving the rain. 
 


Brown-eyed susans beginning to open.

Look what the deer and crows left.
I did see two crows picking hostas last week.
Was it dessert?

Sum and Substance hosta bloom.

The two largest zinnias:


Love the flower within the flower:

First cosmos blossom.  Happy bees!

These lady bells love the rain.
Were looking parched last week.

This coneflower is pinker and has shorter petals than others.

There was a hummer in the scarlet runner beans.
Hummers love anything red.
 

Romas, perhaps.
A volunteer from last year.

Isn't dill pretty!
Last year black swallowtails laid their eggs here.
Haven't noticed any cats around this year.
Have noticed a monarch laying eggs elsewhere. 

Lupine has hundreds and hundreds of seeds to share when dry.
 

Most of these hydrangeas are rain soaked and on the ground.

The Lord will guide you always:  Protector.
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land:  Provider.
and will strengthen your frame:  Preserver.
You will be like a well-watered garden:  Productive.
like a spring whose waters never fail:  Promise.
Isaiah 58:11
