You all know how much I like taking pictures of what's blooming around my house. Well, a funny thing happened on my way to take pictures the last couple of months-I got distracted by construction. I finally made it out into the yard this morning for some photos and below are my passel of posy pictures. :)
 |
| Spirea |
 |
| Oak-leaf hydrangea |
 |
| Zinnia's that the rabbits have been enjoying. |
 |
| Lantana |
 |
| Vinca. In the upper left, you can see part of the fig tree. |
 |
| Day Lilies. |
 |
| Black-eyed Susans. You can see where the Japanese beetles are eating the petals. They eat the coneflower petals, too. |
 |
| Coneflower |
 |
| Four O'clocks. Later this afternoon, say around 4 o'clock, these will be in full bloom. |
 |
| Bachelor's Button. Notice the pollen sacs of the back legs of the bee. |
 |
| The allium are ready to burst into full bloom. |
 |
| The row of begonias along our front walk do great every year. Not only do they provide good color, they require essentially no maintenance. |
 |
| This lone azalea bloom is about two months behind the others. |
 |
| Dianthus. Most of these are suffering from the heat. |
Until next time...
