Ceilo from "The house of roses" has invited me to join her garden party, which is today. Here are some of my garden pics. There are so many different pretty garden photos from Ceilo and others displayed on Ceilo's blog " The house of roses." If you get a moment and want to view some beautiful photos of the many different gardens of others, check out Ceilos blog by going to "My favorite blogs" list and click on " Ceilo's Blog name " The house of roses".
The Stella Doro lilies are growing nicely in my front landscape. I love lilies and have many different types through out my landscape in both my front and back yard.
This is my hydrangea bush. I have five of these pretty bushes through out my yard. This type if hydrangea gets pretty big. It starts out with pretty apple green blossoms in the late spring. By summer the blooms are white and in the autumn they turn a very beautiful rosy blush color. Once these extremely large blooms turn rosy, they dry out on the bush. I like to pick them after they've dried and place them in nice baskets around the house. Dried hydrangeas will keep their pink color right up til the following fall.
This is one of my purple spirea bushes in my front landscape.
Lovely flowers, Lydia. I also have the lilies (hemerocallis) in my garden, an orange-colored variety.
ReplyDeleteToday is the Summer Solstice with the longest day and shortest night of the year. It is celebrated with fire, dances, songs, special food and drink in Latvia.
Happy summer solstice, Lydia!
Hello Eva, Lilies are one of the prettiest flowers around. My stargazers are just budding now. I'm looking forward to the blooms.
ReplyDeleteHappy summer solstice to you too eva. Now is the time where all good things that began in the spring flourish. How interesting about Latvia and their celebration of the summer solstice.
Have a wonderful summer solstice and enjoy the sunshine on this longest day of the year.
Hi Lydia, It's so nice to meet you. Love all your photos and your lilies. I love the stargazers but unfortunately the deer do too. They chomped on mine this year as soon as they came up out of the ground. :(
ReplyDeleteI just discovered the pink spirea bushes last year and planted some by the pool. I love them and plan to get some more this fall. Have a super nice weekend. ~ Lynn

Hi honey!!! Beautiful. I have my post up but it's no where near complete. I still have to write something!!! I'm visiting other blogs rather than attending to my own. I know, pathetic. Come on in, look around, you're already familiar with almost everything so know where the gate is. I'll put out some iced tea for you honey, oh, and T-Bone will want to enjoy the garden with you, so let him take you on the tour. And yes...there are lots of weeds this year. You know it's been stressful here!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful. What fun to see it. Is this a great idea, or what!!!???

Everything looks so green and lovely. Thanks for showing me around.
ReplyDeleteHi Lydia, your garden is gorgeous. Your Stella Doro lilies are beautiful. Your white Rugosa Roses are so pretty. You certainly have a green thumb and it shows. Hydrangeas are one of my favorites, but a little too hot in Texas for them, so I paint them instead. LOL So nice to meet you. You have such a lovely blog.
