What's Blooming 7/20/18

When manicuring the yard this week, the orange turkscap lilies, that form bulbettes in the leaflets, reminded me of Andre Crouch's hymn:  My Tribute.  I'm not going to remember the words perfectly but thought I'd share:

How can I say thanks
for the things you have done for me.
Things so undeserved
yet you did to prove your love to me.
The voices of a million angels
can not express my gratitude.
All that I am and ever hope to be,
I owe it all to Thee.
To God be the glory.
To God be the glory.
To God be the glory
for the things He has done.
By His love he has saved me.
By His power he has raised me.
To God be the glory
for the things He has done.
Just let me live my life.
Let it be pleasing Lord to Thee.
And any praise that I should gain,
let it go to Calvary.
To God be the glory.
To God be the glory.
To God be the glory
for the things He has done.

More pumpkin and squash blossoms every morning here at Rainbow's End.
Can't wait to go out early to hear the bee symphony.
Have learned to wait until it's warmer and sunnier for the bees to be active.







First yellow lily in bloom.
Have fought red lily beetles for the past 3 seasons.
Any suggestions?

Whenever I see "close friends" blooms,
I am reminded we get along with a little help from our friends.
That quote certainly applies to me.  Thank you, friends.



We call this lily Grampa's lily in my family.
It has bulbettes forming in each leaflet
falling to the ground, proprogating readily.
Terrible red lily beetle damage.

Purple cone flowers are beginning to bloom,
attracting the swallowtails!  Yeah!

Blazing stars also beginning to bloom.

What I call my Lollipop Patch
where butterflies lick each one. 

The perseverance viola
which selfseeded from last year
and growing in the crack.

These next two flowers are planted in the same bed.
Yellow and orange are complimentary.
Ligularia Rocket in the background.
