This time of year it seems like something new is blooming every week. Here's some of the newest blooms in our gardens.
.
This is an Oak Leaf Hydrangea. The flower heads aren't as ball shaped as regular hydrangea's and they flower for quite a while. This bush looks nice even in the winter, because the woody part of it has a nice shape. The branches and stems are very twisted, so are interesting to look at.
.
The climbing roses on the arbor are starting to open up. We wish they would fill in more, but it's a start!

Here's a closeup of those roses. Aren't they pretty?.
These are Stella D'oro day lilies. They flower for quite a while, and make this a cheery place to sit!
I love your arbor and your day lilies. They remind me of some orange ones we had in New Jersey, but they must have been a different variety. Your yard looks like a peaceful place to hang out and have a cup of coffee (with a Starbuck's mug of course!).

Mari, those flowers and your yard is very nice/beautiful! It would be nice just relaxing in the yard. I have a yard like that too. I have noticed those same oro lilies in my yard and some roses and other things popping out too.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are very pretty, & the bench is inviting but I bet the mosquitos will eat you alive at certain times of the day. This year they are horrible!!
ReplyDeleteYour yard looks so inviting - it's just lovely. I've never heard of an Oak Leaf Hydrangea - how pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think I've told you this before but I looooooooooooove your garden !!!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous flowers and I love your yard! You did an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, Mari! You have done such a wonderful job of making your house a home. It looks so inviting.
ReplyDeleteYour yard is gorgeous...I'm glad your taking time to enjoy it! I so love being out in the yard...it's just so dang hot this time of year. I rarely go out.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a great week!
You have such a beautiful flower garden Mari! I sure wish I had your touch!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your rose arbor. The color really shows off the color of the roses.
ReplyDeleteI like lilies too but that bench is just the best! It is so pretty up against the backdrop of those evergreen trees. The bench with the lilies would make a pretty picture for the front of a card.
Oak Leaf Hydrangea....we have been seeing that bush around and liked it but didn't know the name! Thanks for posting it.
beautiful rose. I like the oak leaf hydrangea too. I may have to see if I can find me one
