Ah, summertime! I know summer is really here when the Purple Coneflowers are 4' tall and the trees have filled out between me and my backyard neighbor.
This shot surprised me when I got it to the computer. A shaft of light was on the Coneflower with deep shadows all around it.
I never got around to trimming the Annabelle Hydrangea in the garden by the back of the house. We haven't had hard downpours this year (yet) so the bush is still mostly upright. After a storm it will usually droop down and never recovers because the new stems with blooms are so fragile. This is really 2 bushes and I need to dig out the back one this fall.
The Blackberry Lily is still blooming. I have a couple of the common orange ditch lilies that I didn't dig out this spring so they are going to bloom soon and then I will dig them out.
This is round 2 for the Stella d'oro lily. I know there were 2 plants originally so maybe this is the other plant.
Today I need to make a backing or two. I already have batting cut to match several tops so the one seam and lots of pressing is what I need to do.
