Sometimes even the flowers in your own yard can be pretty amazing. I'll admit, my "garden" is pretty out of control, but the colors look lovely when you aren't getting close enough to see all the weeds! I especially love the orange of the daylilies and the red of the (can't remember the name) when you look over the corner of the fence.
Looking up from the street, with the neighbor's garden on one side of the fence and our flowers on the other, it looks very peaceful. So long as the fence continues to stand, this will be welcoming view between our yards!
Soon after we moved into our house, my father in law offered some daylilies from his garden. They drove him crazy - too invasive! Well, that's true, but I've enjoyed having the color each spring/early summer.
Looks like it might be a good year for the hydrangea, though it seems to have lots of long stalks and isn't filling in that well. More buds than I've seen in years, however. Caught this little bug hanging out on one of them.
Another pretty sight is the hosta buds. I like the buds much more than I like the actual flowers! This one, with the yellow in the background, gives just a hint of the purple that will appear soon.
We also have a bold red daylily behind the fence. The flowers aren't shiny, but the color and texture are so intense. There are only a few flowers each year, but they are always beautiful!
