I can't believe Ginger laid down on the desk. She hasn't ever been one to do that. Number Three was, certainly, but she would have been on the keyboard, obscuring my view of Mack Taylor and his New York crew.
The portulaca is finally starting to fill in the window box.
Merlin's Magic didn't seem to like the conditions on my porch, unfortunately. :( But Twist & Twirl is thriving just like it did last year!
Petunias just love it at our house!
Bordeaux and the tuberous begonias, all going nuts.
Here's Vince again, along with my first lilies (other than Stella) to bloom!
The Wave Petunia looks like it's trying to stand up.
The mystery of the strange seedling has been resolved! It was a CALLA LILY!! Yay! Isn't it purty? I just love the leaves. I might even go through with digging up the bulbs and overwintering them inside to keep them coming back. And that's saying something.
Lysimachia Alexander is thriving. It looks so much bigger and fuller and better than last year.
And these babies also opened up! They ran a close second to the orange ones. I just love how soft the pink is.
Look at them with that excellent Telstar Picotee dianthus at their feet. That's the only dianthus that's still consistently blooming. It's just fantastic.
And look at my babies! My little Stellas, all in a row!
Oh, they're fabulous!
Look at those sweet little faces!
And we have a bud coming up on either You Are My Sunshine or Strutter's Ball. I think it's YAMS. (Haha, yams.)
And I'm pretty sure this one is my Siloam Double Classic... which has me so excited!! I can't wait to see my new little double lily! I've never had one before. In fact, I don't think I've ever even seen one in person.
Sorry about the dizzying tilted pictures in this post. In the foreground is all the buds on my only unblooming Stella, and beyond that is all the buds on Happy Returns, which is Stella's cousin.
Speaking of tilted, here's another one of the Stellas.
This is my baptisia. It looks like it's growing peapods!
Astilbe Deutchland looks ready to wait it out until next year.
This is the Secret Sideyard Rose.
And last but not least, we have some fruit!
Aren't they adorable?

Your garden is so beautiful! You are doing a great job, little girl! I'm very proud of you. I really love all the lilies. I need to plant some more. It's just so dang hot down here! I can't even shop in the nurseries.
Let's plant some blue irises. I'd like some purplish-blues. How 'bout you?
Thanks for the beautiful posting. It's all looking good. Happy and healthy. Can't beat that!
