You and I have the same taste in flowers. I have yellow daylilies, along with some maroon ones. I also have the black eye Susan vines, and a few others the same. Can you take a picture from farther away so we can see the whole flower bed?
Those pictures look professional Wily - fantastic job capturing them! I especially like the flower with the bee on it - fabulous shot!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I was dying a shirt on the stove-top before I went out and my original plan was just to go up and get a shot of that one mushroom, well, 1/2 hour later I come in the house to a pot that had boiled over. Thank goodness nothing worse happened!
and Pacamom, here's the flower bed. I put bamboo edging up this year because all my bark kept falling out over the wall. I am not totally pleased with it, but it is functional. I have everything on a drip system with black plastic under the mulch to help keep the moisture in and weeds out. That's a choke cherry tree that we put in 2 years ago. That is the most interesting tree. There is always SOMETHING going on with it. Now it's time for the berries to turn dark purple and the birds come - the grosbeaks love them! Usually the deer come munch the day-lilies, but with so much for them to eat this year, they haven't bothered and I am very happy about that!
