Absolutely beautiful Sarah.  I love the roses so bright against the purple.  Looks so good there.

We are all under the same stars, therefore we are never far apart.

Looks great Wrennie, I really like how your gardens look so natural against your rolling hills.

And the front with the thyme blooming...



All of my once a year blooming roses are going strong right now.  :yesssss:

Very pretty and calming landscape, Wrennie. It just invites you to sit down and enjoy nature. How is the patio going? Is it close to your gardens? :grinnnn:

Beautiful, Sarah. Have you gotten any room left for more plants? :grinnnn: I bet people are always stopping by to just look at what you have accomplished. Does anyone else garden on your street?

At least once a day I find someone standing out front looking.  :goofy: If I am outside, most will comment, and a few will ask if my mom planned the gardens.  :giggle: They are shocked to find a younger person who gardens.

And, of course there is more room for plants...get the shoehorn out.  :BigGrin:

With the weather being so weird this year, none of my flower beds have done anything worth taking a full shot of, until now.  In my Lily bed, the Princess & Day Lilies have been at it for a few weeks & the yellow Asiatics & purple Callas have been open for several days.  The yellow Callas & white Asiatics finally started opening up today. :clap:
     
It would be nice if ALL the Lilies would bloom at the same time, but as it is, I get a continuous succession of gorgeous Lilies all summer long, so I guess that's alright... (but what IS it, with different color flowers from the same type of plants, opening up at different times? That has never made any sense to me!) :ScratchHead:

In February I asked for fill-in suggestions for my lily bed, in another topic here... & now that I look back on it, I see that I never followed up in that thread, with what I decided. :SlapSelf: (Will hafta take care of that, when I get a spare minute.)  I went with perennial Sweet Alyssum... transplanted it from here & there, in different places around my yard, & I'm pretty happy with it, so far.  I have Basil coming up at the corners & across the front of the bed, & I think they'll look great when they get a bit bigger.  Basil is an annual, of course, but it's easy to control the height without hurting the plant, & it'll also hide the dirt while it serves as a deer barrier, to keep the snackers out of the bed. :grinnnn:
 
(The yellow flowers on the left, aren't Lilies.  It's a mountain shrub, called Shrubby Cinquefoil.)

Looks awesome Patty.  That is the space under your front window, right?  I really love how it has all filled in out there!
