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.
