The Rose of Sharon is covered in blossoms. These only last for a day, fall off and more come out, so it is somewhat messy.

Up close to one of those blossoms.

The Hot Cocoa rose is blooming again.

(26:07:2021)

More lily bouquets. This one is close to the street and people stop to sniff.

(26:07:2021)
This spotty one is a favourite.

There are lots of the small double blossoms - and you can smell them from far away.

The Neptune rose is also starting to bloom again. This blossom is hiding in the leaves next to the deer cage, so it was hard to see with the camera!

(26:07:2021)
The Black-eyed-Susans are blooming now. They will bloom for the rest of the summer.

(28:07:2021)
Some of the dahlias have more blossoms too.

Another one nearby.

The Neptune rose has five new blossoms, but this is the only one that isn't hiding behind the wires, and - so far - hasn't been nibbled by the deer.

The Canna lilies are in full bloom.

(28:07:2021)
The annual poppies that seed themselves haven't been doing well this year and were mostly very small and pale pink, but this nice salmon coloured blossom has appeared late in the season at the side of the house.

The potted fuchsias beside our back patio have three kinds blooming now. This one is the tallest.

One of Sheila's cactuses has started to bloom!

(31:07:2021)

Another fuchsia blossom.

(31:07:2021)

And here is the third variety.
