Hi PhotoFriends,

I have been busy tending to all my flowers since my last thread. My flowers are still popping beautiful color throughout my garden.

I wanted to update you on what is blooming now.

I am so glad the temperature is having a break from Hazy, Hot and Humid! I am sure it will be back very soon.


Pix 1..

Rose Mallow Hibiscus (Perennial 7 Feet Tall)

There flowers are very big. Like the size of a salad plate.

Light Pink Hibiscus (Close Up)

These are like the size of a cereal bowl. , I don't want to get you all hungry I will serve refreshments after this tour!

Helianthus Lemon Queen Close Up (Perennial 7 Feet Tall)

I have four favorite yellow tall perennial flowers.

I have shared three so far in my past threads:
1. Silphium Cup Plant
2. Sweet Coneflower
3. Rudbeckia Laciniata

Here is the last one of the four yellow perennials that is my favorite: "Lemon Queen".

I like having these yellow flowers because they come in bloom when my red Monarda (BeeBalm) is dying off.

Another cool thing about Lemon Queen is the American Gold Finch love eating their seeds.

Crocosmia (Vertical)

My New Addition to my garden...

I was looking to buy more Montibretia this Spring since my Hummingbirds seemed to like this second best to my Monarda. Since I couldn't find any the nursery said try Crocosmia, it is very similar to Montibretia. Karl verified that with me too at the forum Thank you Karl!

My Hummingbirds do like it. I did get my first photo of a Hummer on it but it was blurry I will try again tomorrow.

This type flower is so hard to capture. I was glad to finally get something I could share with you all.

My Summer Phlox

Here you can see behind my pink Summer Phlox my big garden bed where all my red Monarda was in June. The Monarda is about all gone now and in its place are the taller yellow perennials. This time of year the butterflies come in hordes.

A QUIZ!

It is always fun to have a quiz.

What is the name of this flower? I know. Do you? Have fun!

Thank you all so much for still showing interest in my garden. You all do make me SMILE visiting my thread!

Hope you enjoy my new ten captures!

What a lovely tour of our garden BB. I just love the pictures and the commentary makes me feel at home touring your garden. Crocosmia grow like mad here and the hummers just love them!! I'm sure you'll be happy with yours. They also tend to spread and take over so just be aware of that. Mine sure have gone crazy but I wanted them too . What a wonderful set. I don't have a guess for your quiz, I'll have to come back and see what it is

Your garden seems to be getting more beautiful every day, BB. I can feel your passion. All the flower shots are beautiful as they are not taken with your eyes, but with your heart.

You didn't make me hungry, Bee, but you made me rethink how tall you are... I mean, looking DOWN at 7-foot tall flowers .
An excellent set.

My favor is #1, we dont have those as big here in South Florida, maybe a salad plate size .

Really enjoyable garden you have there.

Regards

Okay Bee...I'll throw my Jesters cap into the ring...and make a guess...Dallas Blues Switchgrass or Panicum Virgatum. Just don't laugh to hard when I'm wrong...it makes the hat spin counter-clockwise.
