    I kept 137 photos from today's walkaround, but I'll just share a few here. :D

    I cut back my Fairy Rose hard this year after a cold winter, but it seems to have rebounded nicely. It appears to be my most hardy rose.

    More lilies are blooming....
    Probably Stargazer

    Pink Fantasy Clematis is now blooming, seems late.

    Moles enjoyed creating a path of destruction in my front yard garden while we were gone for the 4th of July. Good news is we trapped our mole, bad news is the damage was done, most the annuals I had planted got uprooted and died. So, I've got some new perennials starting in the middle section of the garden.

    If anyone wants to see all of today's photos, I've uploaded most of them here.

    Oh dear your garden is just too beautiful!! I look at all your wonderful plants and then look at my garden and wonder where I've gone wrong. I could spend hours wandering happily around your land and never want to leave. :-D

    Such wonderful blooms Pianolady! I love your arbor and Clematis. Is that a Trumpet Vine in the background? I'll bet you have many happy Hummingbirds! :)
