Sunny Sunday Morning
The weather has been so changeable. One day muggy, then maybe the next. Then slip in a couple of beautiful days. Cool, workable weather. Today is fortunately one of those days.

June Floods, July Flowers
Aren't April showers supposed to bring May flowers. Well this year June torrents have brought in July flowers. I won't even mention the July weeds!! Well maybe just a little. Lots and lots of July weeds. A never ending supply. With the ground so wet, at least the weeds pull easily.
We have been really enjoying the view from our back porch this year. My garden is in the foreground, our neighbor's yard is in the back ground. The color schemes match because a great deal of their plants have come from my garden. That was not a planned thing, but the result sure is pretty.
And this last one is cleome, my wife's unfavorite plant. Left to form seed pods, it will go invasive in a year. Left to grow tall, it will develop thorns as a self defense. But tenacious thinning of babies will keep its numbers in check. The pom poms behind the cleome are the leek scapes. The scapes if left to mature the seeds, will fall over and may start tons of leeks. But that is a good thing. Easily self perpetuated leek beds.

Before the Heat
I went out to view the garden this morning before the 90 degree heat and high humidity set in. Some flowers are just now coming in.
I love the Gloriosa Daisies. Unfortunately for me, they self seed very sparingly. So when they do pop up, they are much appreciated. I should dead head them to a specific garden patch to see if I can get more of them next year.
I love this magenta day lily. Nobody took any during my spring plant give away. Their loss, my gain. It would look nice in other parts of the yard.
