I knew it was supposed to be very hot today so I went out early and snapped some photos.
The lily opened in the east end of the humming bird bed. I have this same lily in several places. I have no memory of planting them around........
and this is the tree stump bed (removed the large elm tree)which should be called the agastache bed since that is all that is growing here. I have several green leaved ones I have left....I may regret that since I do like the golden leaved ones more.
The green is a bit ahead of the gold in blooming,
This is the humming bird bed taken from the east side looking west,
Soon to have phlox, daylilies, zinnias, cosmos and much later anemone robustissima.
Can you see the sprinkler in front of the kitchen? This is the kitchen window bed (duhhhhh). Currently just beginning is the less than spectacular Endless Summer hydrangea.
I managed to hoe weeds from the HB bed and the kerria bed just to the north before it got too hot. Now 91°. Next step will be carefully spreading the cypress mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and keep down weeds.
