    The Candy Lily flowers are small...I would say 1-2 inches across for the whole flower. It is in the front of the picture and it gets almost bushlike.

    Seeing all those beautiful flowers has cheered me up no end! Summer creeps up so gradually that I tend to take the build up of colour for granted - until, suddenly, like an amazing sunset, it's gone. :'(

    Wow Wrennie!!!!! Those are absolutely beautiful. Thank you from a color starved person right now,,lol.

    I haven't really gotten into flowers to much, just planted a few here an there, but now that i got the farm underway, an places where i can plant cleared out, (done this fall) I have an idea what i would like to plant. All these flower pics have helped me figure out what the names of everything is that i like, so Thank you for the help. I have to keep everything looking as natural as can be since this is a tourist camp, and farm, thats what they come to see is norways natural beauty.... so in a way i am also limited in the lower fields, but up here on top i can do as my little heart desires....... :D

    Love the picture of bee balm. I just planted my first in fall 2007 and can't wait to see the results. I put it where the bees would not scare off visitors. Thanks for the pics.
