OMG @Sjoerd !! I predict that you have the next 'Pic of the Month' with that humming bird moth on that gorgeous vibrant pink phlox !!
Annie— haha. I don’t know about that. Cheers though. I have not seen one for a couple of years. Curious beasts.
Great catch butterfly and hummer moth.. so nice to see more of your flowers too. You got super skills and great collections with a lovely variety of plants. Logan super beautiful huge lily …. Martagon I think?
Loggie— stunning. That lily really is amazing to see. It is working for you. Is it planted alone or part of a border? Say, how’s that little wrist coming along? Pac— cheers for your gracious words.
Pink-ish flowers Compte de Chambord rose, a variety developed in France by Robert and Moreau, in about 1858. Probably the same as Mme Boll. I potted up the cutting-grown plant last fall. This is the second blooming, and it's getting to a nice size now. Very fragrant! Before I knew what it was, I was calling it "Rose parfumée mystérieuse". The original bush came with the house. It's history is a mystery. I bought these lily bulbs as "Stargazer". Which they are definitely not! But the fragrance wafts across the kitchen garden, very nice. It's nice to see bumblebees on the echinacea. Something not pink-ish, but yellow. Lots of bees today on the squash blossoms. Bumblebees and honeybees. I want to believe, I am helping to perpetuate the species by growing kits of pesticide-free bushes, trees, flowers for pollen and nectar.
Beautiful blooms @Daniel W and good to see the busy Bees enjoying and reaping the benefits of all your hard work too.They must love your garden.
Last pic the bright yellow fancy daylily with the bee flying by as it’s shadow is reflected on the flower petal. Nice photo catch. In my head I’m singing the lyrics to - Bee and my shadow… all alone and feelin blue… Bee and my shadow… strolling down the avenue….
Lovely pics everyone and thank you it's in the ground in a border, the flowers don't last long @Pacnorwest @Sjoerdand @Anniekay @Sjoerd it's not too bad, achy sometimes,last week on Monday i went to the fracture clinic and i was given a sling and told to come back this Wednesday hopefully to get a full plaster on and a x-ray then it's 6 weeks after that i can have it taken off.
Wow look at the vines, flowers and toms in @Anniekay place… like all the variety . Zinnia’s lookin good and looks like the garden plants are recovering nicely from the drenching they went thru over night. Back to July garden pics …who’s been eating my garden flowers? Who… Who… ?
