Daisy

Close up of the daisy.  I've had them for many years, transported from Saline.  They are really doing well this year.

Blooming in the Front Yard

Out in front the daisies and lilies are blooming.

Close up of the lily.  They are really large and lovely.   Just a generic plant nothing really special but they do add a lot of nice color.

This is along the walkway.   Spirea are still blooming the muted lavender blossoms, the stella odoro day lilies are in bloom and the campanullas.   They get larger every year and flower more.  Except for one or two spots, my idea of a solid edge of white blooms from now until fall is happening.

Blooming

There are lots of flowers blooming these days.  It's wonderful to see so much that has recovered.

Coreopsis on the hill side.

Also the lovely yellow rose above is the Julia Child that is so hardy and resilient.
