    The first picture is a double tiger lily that I had just planted in the spring.

    Gorgeous blooms Sherry! Is that last photo a Pee Gee Hydrangea? They are at their finest here now.

    Gosh Sherry--you have really outdone yourself this time.
    Such wonderful and beautiful specimens you have. The orange Cosmo sweeps me away. In fact I notice that you like Cosmos...well, I've never met a Cosmos I didn't like. ;)
    --but yours, I LURVE!

    Netty...I have another tree that I am almost positive it is a pee gee hydrangea but this one is a Hydrangea-Pan. Tardiva Tree Form is what the tag said when I bought it this spring.
    I have not had butterflies use these trees so far this season ...last season they were on the pee-gee alot. I could of missed them and I am hoping I get some butterfly pictures on them before they are finished.


    Sjoerd...yes I do love my cosmos...I haven't tried the chocolate ones yet. I am not very impressed with the seas shell ones...I like the old fashion ones that are larger. I love the orange ones for their color.

    they're all so wonderful, it would be hard to chose, but that has to be the prettiest color for a Rose of Sharon i've ever seen.

    Your blooms are all beautiful, Sherry! Those lilies are really pretty. I like the aster, delphinium and coneflower shot a lot, and I'm very glad to see your daylilies. Only the yellow ones bloomed here this year.
