My garden is in overdrive . . .

July 13, 2011 by Barb 11 Comments

Going out into the garden after being away for a week and having had four inches of rain is a bit daunting.
Overgrown is an Understatement.
“I have a garden of my own,
But so with roses overgrown,
And lilies, that you would it guess
To be a little wilderness.”
 
Andrew Marvell

    I hear you loud and clear, Barb. Me too. I mowed today, so one thing is crossed off my list. :)

    Gorgeous orange lily. Don’t you just love ’em? :)

    Gorgeous lily shot. We have not had so much as four droplets of rain and at 4pm this afternoon my car was telling me it was 109F outside – when I got out I believed it to be true. Enjoy your beautiful garden.

    What a gorgeous capture, I love the angle of view making the stamens look like tiny dancers on a merry-go-round.

    Is that a tiger lily? We had bunches and bunches of them around our house when I was growing up…they bring back great memories of fun summers! Thanks for sharing this pretty shot! :)
