July is the most colorful month here at Rainbow's End. More buds and blooms daily.
Two campanulas (?) - Korean Bells and Cherry Bells (invasive)/gifted.
Daylilies are blooming:
Spiderman day lily partially open this morning:
Bumblers were happily buzzing away in lamb's ears this morning. Flower stalk not remarkable, scent not remarkable - but bees love it:
More colors of Gloriosa Daisies daily. Identified by their fuzzy leaves.
Ornamental grass in bloom - seems too soon:
July is day lily month, including ditch lilies:
Foxgloves finishing up, from Lesley's sister, Gloria, years ago. Lacecap hydrangea in background.
Two colors of bee balm in bloom. Expecting hummers to visit. Today's rainy and humid.
Rose colored bee balm from Ruby:
Rosa-agosa, scented.
Shasta Daisies
Isn't it too soon for mums to bloom:
Stella Dora reblooming daylilies, from Lesley:
Hydrangea beginning to change color:
Tickseed coreposis foreground with Ladies Mantel and Lady Bells background. Should be pretty when Lady Bells open.
Neighbor's cat was weary of me saying "just a minute" although we had already had breakfast and private time. She knows she bosses me around. I call her Spooky but she comes to "Come Here."
This hosta was hard hit by killer frost so now protecting it from sunburn with umbrella. (When the maple tree came down years ago the hosta was too large to move.) Ditch lilies behind, Oxeye to right. Snow on mountain to far right.
Rose camption planted itself behind loosestrife. Lace cap hydrangea to right. Weeping cherry in middle. Korean bells beginning to flower in front.
Oxeye daisy:
Daisies with feverfew are complimentary:
Loosestrife:
Artemisia from mom makes a striking backdrop for ditch lilies:
Prickly pear from Ruby is beginning to bloom. Hundreds of buds:
Borage, edible. Bees love it.
Scotch thistle from Michie: Yellow finches love it. Self-seeded itself on both ends of potato patch.
Saw yellow in Scotch thistle but knew it was too soon for seeds. Happy to capture swallowtail.
Consider how the wild flowers grow.
Luke 12:27
Love walking about early morning to remember who gave me what. (Early morning is best to avoid shadows.)
