Now that it is early July, it is time to take note of what is blooming in the garden. The daylilies are magnificent — especially if the colors are rich and dark. The yellow ones look a bit anemic or even acidic.

The other things that are very pretty are the poppy which are a translucent, glowing magenta. They are highlighted beautifully by the white daisies.

But oh after a week of being gone, there is so much weeding to do! And just tomorrow I leave for another week and then the garden will really be over grown! Who said that working in a garden was edenic?
