In My Garden, This Week

It's been a few weeks since I shared some garden love, so I did a quick stroll around my yard tonight and turned up some of my early July favorites. Balloon flowers are the perfect perennial for a children's garden. They blow up just like balloons and then pop right open.

Our first spring in our house, we planted purple and white coneflowers on the side. The purple ones spread everywhere. The white ones disappeared all but two little plants now in our front yard.


Daisies make everyone smile, right? Hope they are still in bloom for my next girly session... I'll bring some along for a little game of he loves me, he loves me not.

And finally, my day lilies are out in force this year....

My favorite lily is still the Tiger Lily, aka Ditch Lily. The patch in our yard is a transplant from my mama's garden.

Happy Fourth everyone! Lots of sessions coming up in the next few weeks, including a new baby just born yesterday! Lucky me!
