What's Blooming Wednesday

It's been so hot and dry here, not much has made it - but my double day lilies are trooping through the summer!

So pretty - wish they lasted longer than a day!  Is it hot and dry where you are?


We're actually dealing with a lot of fires in surrounding areas right now it's so dry.  I had severe headaches for the past three days due to all of the smoke.  They finally started getting them under control yesterday, I hope they are able to put them out!  


You can see a picture here or here.

What's Blooming Wednesday

Seems like there is a ton of stuff blooming right now!  I love it, even though some days my allergies don't.  You only get three pictures though - I've got to make these blooms last a few weeks!

I love my clematis - it comes back bigger and better each year, and doesn't seem to mind neglect!

Close-up of a blue iris.  They were growing in our pond really well, so I decided to experiment and see how they would do in the ground (I have a flower bed I'm trying to fill up with non-maintenance flowers).  They are doing great!

 
My white climbing rose is blooming like crazy now!  Notice the hint of pink?  It picked it up from a neighboring rose bush.  Later in the year it will probably produce white flowers with pink splotches - pretty!

What's blooming in your garden?  Leave me a comment telling me and I'll be sure to return some comment love!

What's Blooming Wednesday - Blog Hop!

Here are some of the things that have been blooming here lately!

I can't remember the name of this tree, but we planted it a few years ago and have been enjoying it's blooms ever since!  The bees love it too.  

The Camellias are ending their season - they will be missed!

I love this Camellia bush - it reminds me of roses!

Pretty in pink!
