  1. Beautiful!
    Love the Dahlias! Another favorite is the white lily (last photo).
    Have a wonderful day!

  2. The lily was a surprise! Do they usually bloom this late in the season up your way? I adore Caryopteris and wish I could grow it here. (I've tried.) The combination of the coleus and hydrangea is unexpected and very attractive.

    1. That lily was a surprise. It is in a pot and I guess it was planted late.

  3. I always enjoy my monthly visits to your garden. So much variety and color. Happy (belated) Bloom Day.

  4. Your 'Dynamite' is dynamite. It looks wonderful. Mine are extremely drought stressed.

    The Caryopteris and Abelia are so happy and healthy looking. Your whole garden must be magic.
