My Late July Garden

This was my treat the day after I got back from Ely! My Morning Glories had bloomed (I've been waiting)!

They're perfect. Brilliant blue and absolutely stunning. I have Moon Flower planted here too, but I haven't seen them yet.

This is part of my full, amazing garden.

This is the tree at the back of the yard. I'm really loving the lilies.

Lilies

During the summer, the start of every day is Christmas morning for me. I wake up, ooze out of bed and as I'm walking through the hall, the realization that I might have presents awaiting me outside completely overtakes me!

Yesterday when I went outside to see what Garden Santa left for me, I found that my baby buds had become obvious potential blossoms. Ooooo...soooo...close...

This morning, I expected to see buds in the process of opening, but instead found these amazing beautiful blooms. The creamy lilies look like they're dressed with fairy dust, and the peach looks like it belongs in a beautiful tropical garden.

My lily garden has 4 stunning blooms, and there are so many more buds just waiting to stretch out their petals to face the sun.

"Garden Babies"

These are my garden babies. Many of them are container grown so that when I entertain out back, I can move the flowers around like living art--grow them in the sun and then move them when they're decor!

I have two stationary gardens...that's where the wax begonia's and lilies are. It's a continual work in progress. I'm always looking to perfect the blooming coordination of the perennials. I haven't gotten it just right yet, but it would seem that my joy is in the trying.
