I almost missed taking pictures of the early June crop of flowers in our backyard. The roses put on their show at the end of May and the first of June. The pink lilies opened almost two weeks ago, while the orange lilies are starting to bloom now. Our day lilies are just beginning to open and will look their very best in about two weeks. Enjoy!
Orange Oriental Lily
Deep Pink Asiatic Lily
Fancy Petunias (just getting going)
Not exactly sure what this is, but there are lots of them on the plant and the plants are coming up like weeds all over the yard. By the way, we planted this on purpose.
African Daisy - very pretty to look at, but don't cut them and bring them in the house, they smell like dog doo.
Purple Allium flower on a four-foot stem - it is just starting to fade after almost two weeks.
We have several varieties of Snap-Dragons
The Marigold's are a fixture in the front of the vegetable garden every year. This year Chat Noir (the cat) has decided that she must do her business between these plants. She killed two of them by digging and ... you know. A third is hanging on by sheer will-power.
The last of the May/June rose bloom.
Orange Asiatic Lilies (and more in the distance)
The very first Day Lily blossom. The color is off because there wasn't much light when I took this picture.
