My Summer Garden Flowers

What a beautiful way to begin the summer! Come along with me as I stroll through my flower beds. Enjoy the view that I enjoy every summer. Some of these flowers are at their peak and others are at their end, but they are still beautiful enough to share.

Thank you for visiting my summer garden flowers.

    • Thank you Bernadette. I don’t know if they are edible I honestly have never eaten any flowers except dandelion greens. Lol Thank you for the nice comment about my pictures, it’s amazing what the IPhone can do!

  1. You have such a beautiful and varied garden, Diane. And I love that stone bench I see in the background. Thanks for sharing!

    • That bench is overlooking my 2 small fish ponds. I love sitting there watching the fish and listening to the water fountain which aerates the water. Thank you!

  2. beautiful 🙂 What is the name of the 6th flower Diane… never seen it before.. the orange-ish one..!

  3. How beautiful Diane – I’d spend all my time gazing out the window if I were you. I know it is a lot of work. (Not to mention the wisterias.) All those beautiful lilies are so vibrant. My hydrangeas have no blooms yet and yours are so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden pics with us.

      • I went out to look for the possum (with my camera) and looked at the hydrangeas and now they are out but not a whole lot of flowers. This heat and rain has really messed up the flowers. A fellow blogger in Portland, Oregon has a beautiful perennial flower garden and has many posts about what she calls her backyard sanctuary with many pictures of the butterflies, birds at the birdfeeders and hummingbirds. She said her flowers are fried … they had 115 degrees the other day. The weather is so erratic.

      • Oh my goodness I bet! If I didn’t water my flowers every day they would be dead and we didn’t get anywhere near as hot as they did. We finally got enough rain today that I got a break from watering. The clouds seem to split when the storms come here. Rain all around us but not in our yard. Lol

      • I hate when that happens. When I worked in Downtown Detroit for so many years, just 10 miles away, and I’d leave work and it was nice and sunny, then at home a torrential downpour.

  4. I enjoyed seeing all the blossoms in your flower gardens. It brought back memories of my garden in Maine where I grew many of the same flowers.

  5. Other talents you have besides cooking: gardening and photography. Well done, Diane!
    The first photo – the orange Paradise Lily – was what caught my eye as you don’t see many of them around here. Everyone remarks about mine when they walk by. Thanks for sharing.

  6. Absolutely beautiful, Dianne. The hydrangeas have been beautiful this year, for which I’m grateful as last year they all just looked anemic, and I thought I had lost a few. I’m hoping this next heat wave isn’t too hard on them. Thank you for sharing your garden with us!
