A Midsummer Day's Dream

Please, Come Into My Garden

Stop a minute and let the Summer Morning fill you with Gladness!


It is the time of year that the Roses are just past their first flush of bloom,
with some blossoms lingering still....

These are the fiery summer blooms of "Salsa"... a rose that is new to my garden....
I could NOT resist the color!

And this one is "Social Climber".... in spite of it's name it is one of my favorite roses.....

The first of the Daylilies are starting to bloom........

But the roses are not quite finished..... this one is "New Dawn" an outstanding climber!

Reaching for the sky!
Can you BELIEVE that color?

And the little yellow rose I cannot remember the name of.....
note to self....... go look it up!

And the David Austin rose "Falstaff"..... with a complex blossom and a heady scent!

But midsummer is that time when the Roses hand the baton of Summer to the lilies.......
This one blooms early and has a delicate lemon scent.....
it came from my former Father-in-law's garden....

And this one is "Miss Ozzie" another lovely sweetly scented variety.......

And this one I have no idea of the name.....
it was from one of those fifty plants of various sorts packages....
and a lovely surprise when it bloomed!

And the fading blooms of the "New Dawn" rose.... getting a bit blowsey.....

And the Lavender begins to blossom with its heavenly scent........


Framing the sweet cherub in clouds of purple!

And the annual petunias are starting to shine.......

I ADORE this dark purple variety ..... for the color and the heavenly scent!

The "William Baffin" rose does NOT give up!

And the "New Dawn" still bravely blooming......

While the Daylilies slowly take over......
This one is called "Little Purple"!

And check out the color on this one....... I do not know its name.....

And this one I think is called "Chicago" but I am not sure.... I bought it a Long time ago.....

This exotic Daylily is called "Inwood" .... I think...... got to look it up!

But I think I love the splendid simplicity of this early Yellow one the best.....

And of course, my favorite weed of all time...
Queen Anne's Lace is just starting to bloom.....

I'm so glad you could stop by for a little visit to my Midsummer Garden.......
