| I think this is from mid-June when the orange Asiatic lilies were blooming. |

| Bright orange Asiatic lilies |
 |
| The alliums (those orbs on tall stalks) grew a little wonky. |
 |
| But they popped open and were nice and large. |
 |
| Orange daylilies and various hosta, along with hydrangea bushes |

 |
| The hosta along the driveway look nice and lush. |
 |
| Balloon Flower buds look like balloons. |
 |
| And then they open and look like this. |
 |
| This little guy was an annual snapdragon from last year that spent the winter in the garage and survived! |
 |
| Biiiiig hosta (I can't remember the variety of this hosta.) |
 |
| Huge hosta leaves! |
 |
| Huge 'Southern Comfort' heuchera leaves |
 |
| Spotted lungwort foliage |
 |
| 'Fire and Ice' hosta |
 |
| This is a perennial snapdragon from Spain. |
 |
| I love how interactive snapdragon blooms are. Pinch the "cheeks" and the "mouth" opens! |
 |
| The daylilies started blooming. |
 |
| The catmint in the sun garden finally bloomed. |
Even the carnivorous plants bloomed.
 |
| Venus Fly Trap |
 |
| Sarracenia purpurea (pitcher plant) flower |

| The pot of Caladiums looks pretty cool. Charlie wants to come outside and check them out. |
I have a whole post dedicated to all the spectacular daylilies here.
Thanks for taking today's extra long garden tour!
Oh my goodness. How BEAUTIFUL. I would love to have a garden like that one day! We're in an apartment until my husband finishes graduate school. Hopefully not too much longer. Loved the garden tour. You can just keep those coming. ;) I'll live vicariously through you.
ReplyDeleteThat is one huge hosta. Hosta la vista, smaller hostas. (Har har har.) I always enjoy your garden posts. I can see a bunch of weeds in my neighbor's yard, but otherwise it's mostly astroturf and concrete around these parts.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden Ingrid! I'll be lucky to get a tiny plant for my apartment this semester. I have no idea what to get though! I want something tiny that would survive indoors. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chelsea! I'm actually terrible at keeping indoor plants alive, but my grandmother always had African violets, which I absolutely loved.
ReplyDeletelol Hosta la vista! Weeds can actually be cool. I only consider a plant a weed if it is somewhere I don't want it. Otherwise it's just a "volunteer."
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jaelan! When I lived in an apartment I would go to my parents' house to garden, which they thoroughly appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific garden!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I enjoy it immensely.
