My vacation is moving by without much work happening in the house or garden, but the garden itself is rolling right along…
our first not-orange dayliliy of the year.
I ❤ ditch lilies!
a volunteer blauhilde bean vine begins to bloom.
tiny ghost Asiatic lilies haunt the side yard.
the first day of color on the drumstick alium.
daylilies and spiderwort.
our prettiest weeds.
native Missouri wildflowers.
Also: more not-red bee balm! LOL
As blooms progress, the color intensifies. The purple is amazing.
And likewise the lavender. It was just supposed to be red. Eh. It is rather well-established to be certain. I took these images from above, uphill from the retaining wall. Most of the bee balm is already over three feet tall.
