The Day lilies have started to bloom.

(26:06:2023)

This day lily is even darker in real life.

(26:06:2023)
These lilies look almost black.

(26:06:2023)

The Angel Face rose still has lots of blossoms - one of them managed to escape the deer fence.

(26:06:2023)
Here's another Day Lily.

(26:06:2023)

There's now lots of borage to attract bees.

(26:06:2023)
Potted fuchsias are starting to bloom too.

(26:06:2023)

The new "Pompom" hydrangea will be in bloom soon.

(26:06:2023)
These lilies are at the top of slope on the west side of the house.

(26:06:2023)

Some poppies have snuck into the lettuce and herb bed.

(26:06:2023)
That hydrangea blossom is fully open now.

(27:06:2023)

Here's what the whole lily bed in the front yard looks like.

One more new day lily

(27:06:2023)

Sadly - this is our entire cherry crop this year! There were lots of blossoms but not enough bees.

(27:06:2023)
Our first picking of fresh peas. There will be lots more where these came from!

(27:06:2023)

This is the second area to be turned back to flower bed! Right out by the street.

(29:06:2023)
A white lily with a spotted throat has slipped through the deer fence.

(29:06:2023)

The bracts on the lace hydrangea have opened. Soon the blue buds in the centre will be open too.

(29:06:2023)
Fast forward three days and the pompom hydrangea is blooming now!

(29:06:2023)

These yellow lilies aren't new, but they are still so pretty that they rated another picture.

(29:06:2023)
This day lily is a new one.

(29:06:2023)

This pale yellow lily is also poking through the fence. It's so close to the ground that it required some gymnastics to get a picture of it!

(28:06:2023)
There are more fuchsias coming into bloom.

(01:07:2023)

These are in the same pot as the one above.

(01:07:2023)
The crocosmia are just starting to bloom - the hummingbirds will be happy!

(01:07:2023)

The black lily beside the back patio is later than the one in the front yard.

(01:07:2023)
In the main lily bed by the driveway a new red one has started to bloom.

(01:07:2023)

These blossoms are a lot darker than they appear in pictures.
