This week the daisies are blooming... and now..they will be blooming in various spots in the gardens for the rest of the summer. There are some tiny leaves just beginning in some areas ...and full grown in others.... it's great. they don't smell nice... but they look perky and pretty..... the wooly thyme and the Pink Chintz thyme are a full, lush carpet in between the other plants and rocks.
Aside from playing in the gardens and just sitting out there enjoying the birds playing in the birdie bath...just been doing some simple side dishes for quicker suppers. How about orange rice with fresh parsley to go with BBQ chicken breast? That was yummy one day....
The peonies are in full bloom in the side yard...
Near the daisies ... Penstemones. Beautiful perennials that are butterfly and hummingbird attractions. I now have several clumps of them and some random self starters...but most of them I carefully separated and placed where I wanted them. I like the idea of some of the pinks and blues together... so did that on purpose ...
I hope the colours show up exactly the same on your monitor as they do on mine.... ohhhhh...this is such a beautiful colour. the tips are the darkest purplish blue... what to call it? I don't even know.... but it is amazing....
Happy Fourth of July to all the gals in the U.S. !!
