We had some visitors today, Mr and Mrs Cardinal were in for a snack.
She had her mouth full and he was flitting hither and yon.
I zoomed in to see what she had......probably for her babies somewhere.
I will show some views, but I wanted to show some close ups of the Lillies. I call them all Day lillies but they are not, so just bear with me OK.
Look at that perfection. I love the way they glow inside. The pollen for the bees is sitting there for the picking and the pattern on the petals lead the way inside the flower. If you notice a lot of flowers have stripes like little runways leading the critters in to the polen.
Its nice when several flower types bloom at the same time. I usually miss out on that but this year the Bee Balm and the Butterfly plants are blooming together. As well as many of the daisies.
You cant really see here but there are 3 different colours in my Bea Balm.
This is an old farm plough hiding behind the lillies.
My New daisy that Dan got for my birthday
The white was backlit slightly so made a nice shot
More close ups
This is a view from Buds side yard looking towards our front garden.......
The next view from our front steps
They are spreading and doing well. I put the painted daisy in front and will soon transplant some of those yellow things.
Well those are a few of the blooms at the moment. No roses in sight. It was a very long winter and what roses did bloom came and went in a hurry. I should find somewhere else to plant them. I will have to plan for next year.

Everything looks just beautiful! All of your hard work (which I know continues with the watering and weeding, etc) has paid off!
Amazing photos of the barn swallows in your last post, too!
Wow, girl, you must love to garden! Your gardens are amazing! Your photos are fantastic too! That mommy cardinal picture is fantastic! Really love this post ;o) We are getting so much rain and cold weather! This week coming, Autumn temperatures. It's been a very weird summer!
Big Hugs ;o)
You have a lot of beautiful plants in your garden! thanks for sharing. :-)
The view from your front step is wonderful!! What a beautiful garden you have with so much blooming right now. I really like bee balm, but have had trouble with earwigs liking them more. This year I see there are exactly three struggling blooms in my front garden, so I'll have to give them another chance ;) I've had trouble with aphids in the garden this year too, and was disappointed to lose an entire bush and now my balloon flowers are in trouble. Thanks for sharing all your beauties ... have a great week! Wendy x
You have a beautiful garden, Janice! I enjoyed seeing all your lovely blooms!
