Several new plants were added last year. This is one of them. That bud is really fat!

The yucca is in full bloom now, hiding the gate sign.

The small florets in the centre of the lace hydrangea blossoms are open now turning them a brighter blue.

Last week we showed the first of these to open - now there is a whole bouquet!

Two plants here, next to the Neptune rose. One of them is the only lily with a red stripe in the middle of the petals.

Another plant that is now a bouquet.

In the shady back yard we have some coleus and begonias to add colour.

This is the only blossom on a clump of daylilies that struggles beside the cedar hedge in the back yard.

Remember that fat bud pictured yesterday?

Add one more day and it's fully open. These are called "rose lilies"

Don't get too close to this one or you will be pollinated!

This one is a true Stargazer lily.

We discovered that we also have a pink "rose" lily!
