As I mentioned the other day, it’s been hot and humid almost all week. I’ve also mentioned it’s hard on the roses. But Eden (the new climber) is handling it amazingly well!

I think she may be my new favourite rose!!!!

Over in Lily Land

We have this lovely Asiatic lily called “Easy Dance”

And for Daylilies we have “Blueberry Candy”, “Ruby Stella” and “Happy Returns”.

Dave and I had to go get some wood at Home Depot (he needed to reinstall the a/c units to fit the new windows). Their garden stuff STILL wasn’t on clearance, but I said screw it and bought these two Blanket Flowers (and a Tickseed… not shown), because several of the plants I was hoping to get were already gone.

The White Obedient Plant I got from Home Depot at the start of the season is already blooming. This was a surprise, because the pink one I have doesn’t usually get going until late August.

And while that one was early, I feel like these ones are late.

The daisies I had at the townhouse always started blooming mid June. But these guys are just starting. I have two good sized clumps in the backyard, both along the fence, and come fall, I think I might move one out front. I also have a super frilly yellow version… it should bloom soon.

Another late bloomer are these Drumstick Allium. All my other Alliums always started blooming in late May. These guys just purpled up and started opening in the last week.

And these big, bold guys, are volunteers. They are growing between the driveway and the neighbour’s fence. On the other side of that fence is the neighbour’s veg garden. They are some sort of onion, though I don’t know what kind. I’m going to let them do their thing and save some seed. I think they would look really pretty in the garden.

And I’ll leave you with these pretties… Mexican Hat, False Sunflower and pink Lavender.
