Just a general pic of the messiness that is my garden.
Paper Lace grows wild all over America, along highways and back roads...
Bet you never really looked at it before, did you?
My mother-in-law has an absolutely crazy green thumb.
She gives me startings of so much...
Like this daisy-like flower she doesn't know the name of.
My favorite garden flower.
Bee Balm.
Some sort of lily, again courtesy of the MIL.
Stages of growth.
The delicate bud.
Starting to come alive.
The finished product.
Stunning. (Daylilly)
Begonias. (Annual)
This is a Hosta flower.
I think some people don't even look at the flower because they are too busy admiring the greens.
A white Coneflower just starting to come out.
(It has since bloomed totally. Will have to get a pic of it for later.)
Another of my many daylillies.
Bee Balm again.
A frequent visitor to my garden.
A Silver-spotted Skipper.
Strangely enough, these moths never visit yellow flowers.
Okaaay....
A female House Sparrow gets a sip.
Another beauty from Barb.
She had the card that gave the correct botanical name of this blue bloomer, but it didn't have the common name. So we've no clue. But I think it dismisses the myth that there are no true blue flowers.
Yet another Daylilly
Balloon Flower (again with the BLUE myth...)
Not sure of name but they are quite striking.
Asiatic Lily
Peace Rose.
I've had this particular rose for nearly twenty years. It was one of my first flowers.

It usually only blooms once a year, but it gives it everything it's got.
Shasta Daisy (seriously the happiest flower, no?)
A Mourning Dove hangs out.
Another Hosta bloom
Name? But it is certainly pretty.
Clematis vine.
Flowers are freakin' huge. Like eight inches across or more.
My pink Peony.
I bring these blooms inside because they are SOOO heavy that they outweigh their stems and droop onto the ground.
And they smell divine - even better than roses.

My white Peony.
The blooms are so big and full. Really old fashioned looking.
My cousin Nickie would love this. When I got it I thought of her because it is so very ORANGE.
The pink Peony before it bloomed.
I guess that's all for now. I have more pics but I have to transfer them to my computer.
So maybe there will be a part two.
