It is pretty. And carrots in window boxes are actually pretty too as well as functional.

So pretty. 

Jen, haven't our lilies bloomed once this year already?  I noticed today that mine are back up and blooming again.

sheri, they bloom when they want to, when it has been really hot, then cools a bit and is rainy.  i don't think i'm explaining that well.  but think about hurricane weather.  cooler nights, lots of rain, following a real hot spell.  so, i can't say if they bloomed before, but if they did, that would be why.  it's a weather thing.  either way, i think mine are prettier this year than last, i'm very happy with them!

I read that quickly and my crazy mind thought it said "either way, I think mine are prettier this year than yours"

sweet flag blooming in my non-pond (also in july)


and now i get to be embarrassed :Blush: because this isn't sweet flag (I've thought it was for the last 10 years :yikes: ) it is pickerel weed, although it isn't a weed.  it is a very good, good for the environment, plant.  oh well... live and learn!!!

I ask the lady at the farmers market to find out the name.  Hope she does.

Jennifer, my hurricane lilies are blooming too.  Wish they multiplied.

sheri, they do.  kinda slow but they do.  they multiply faster in areas that get more rain/water.  i have them in places now that i did not put them there.  i'm glad too!

Jenn, it's so cool that they don't have foliage.  Just a stick and pretty color.

it is cool sheri.  they do have foliage, but it comes in the spring, and looks like liriope.  i actually have them planted in and around my monkey grass for that reason!

I've never noticed the foliage.  Now I guess I'll have to wait.

it comes up in the spring.  the flower and the foliage are never visible together.

here are a few of my "last blooms of summer" that i took today.

a hibiscus


a couple of petunias - from 2 different angles




some daisies... i don't remember planting but they are healthy and crowding out the weeds and briars, so i'll take them!


a begonia basket that just won't quit... not that i am complaining


a clearance plant from lowe's.  looks like a cross between some kind of ginger or lily and bird of paradise.  it is very pretty and colorful until the blooms start to fade. i don't know where i'm planting it - yet. 2 different shots of it as well.




there are confederate roses blooming all over, but i don't have one, so i don't have pictures to share.  but i am thinking this time next year...
