Mid-July Flowers

Hope you don't get sick of them.
The coneflowers are in full bloom now.

Along with a Lupine that decided to bloom late.

The Paul's Glory Hosta was new last year, and, for once, I planted it in a good spot.  It's just booming.  I love this Hosta.  The leaves start out a couple of pale green colors, but the more sun they get, the more they turn golden.

 And, the Hydrangeas continue to wow me.  They have so many lovely flowers this year.

But, of course, for me it's the Daylilies.  This little garden is planted entirely with new
Daylilies from last year.  And, one little Hosta that was fading away in my shade garden.  I hollowed out the tree stump that was there, filled it with dirt, and planted the Hosta there.  I wondered if it would grow, but, so far, so good.

And, the new Daylilies that bloomed in the past couple of days.
I bought this one before I was really into them, and, of course, didn't keep track of the name.  It's one of my favorites, though, with its deep colored eye.

This Touched by Midas is different.  Most Daylily flowers have three sepals and three petals.  This one has five of each.  It's a gigantic bloom, probably because of this, and really catches your eye.  If I was a hybridizer, I'd probably be trying to propagate this, to see if I could eventually get a double.  As it is, I'll just enjoy it.

South Seas - One of my favorites.  And, it's easy to grow, with lots of buds, too.

This unknown white is very pretty, but it drives me nuts because its scape is very long and thin, so it usually falls over before the flowering cycle is over.  I suppose I could stake it, but that kind of spoils it for me.

Alaskan Spring - It surprised me by being on such a short scape, but, I guess that means it definitely won't fall over.

And, lastly, Spiritual Corridor putting on a nice little show.
