Ive had dial up.. so if you are being brave and spending 15 mins to download this.. more power to you!

Last year we had rain upon rain with no sun.. this year sun upon sun with no rain.. egads.. I want a mix already =).. blooms are small, and some stuff is down right struggling without it.. dry dry dry here...

rosa centifolia(limpy in this heat.. but stilled smell very nice...

I have name of this bearded iris somewhere.. I cant find my garden journal at the moment.. regardless its still pretty..

Painted daisy closeup

Group shot of Harrisons Yellow.. this seems to laugh at drought and heat (both very uncommon here, hopefully rain and cooler temps are coming back at some point!)

Hardy Geranium.. dont have a name.. got this as a gift years ago with a trade.. I dont even remember what else was in that trade.. but this has always thrived no matter where I place it..

Better shot of the GUEM starting to double...

Pretty Bonnets columbine..

Close up on Double scots white.. another one doesnt seem to care if it rains...

More of that lupine..

At its peak

general garden shot...

Thats it for now.. I have several roses ready to bloom.. but heck the spindly small buds are pathetic this year.. not a drop of moisture in weeks! some lucky folks got hammered with heavy thunderstorms.. not me =(..

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you Silverkelt in the hope you'll get some rain soon. Your garden looks lovely with all that colour in it though despite the lack of water.

I love the painted daisy that is gorgeous and the lupine. I am going to have to look around for those next year. All of your flowers are very pretty. I hope you get the weather that you want. After today I am tired of the heat and the thunderstorms. LOL. I would have sent them to you if I would have known that you needed some.

Lovely shots, lovely flowers, and your rock walls in previous blogs are wonderful. Are the rocks from your property? I will be looking for lupine for my garden. Beautiful.

Well, we actually got some rain.. The rocks are indeed from our property or surronding it.. the builders own 300 acres around us.. they dont really care if I snag some rocks from where he digs for more fill.. so I take them, the bigger problem is moving them, lol, its sore back breaking work to do 3-4 tons or rocks at a time.. I must have done that 10 X to get the amount I needed. I still would like to do more, but it really is alot of work!

BTW if you want to grow this lupine, Ive only seen TUTTI Frutti in seed form..

I also like band of nobles mix, especially becuase you get solid colors like red and yellow.. I might have to try that next year for a back bed..
