Thanks, everyone.
Yes, the fragrance is amazing. Makes me want to wash dishes or do something in the vicinity.
You are welcome anytime, Kathy.

Love this time of the year when the daylilies and lilies are both blooming so well. Is your purple on Indian Giver Kathy? It is such a lovely little one.

This group is telling me they need divided. The short one in front used to be the same height as the back one. Bet when I dig it up it will have divided into lots of smaller bulbs.

Trying to keep everything deadheaded and water gets to be a big job this time of the year. I've skipped the deadheading on one side of the house and in back the last couple days. Just too humid and not enough time.

We've really been pretty lucky here this year. For the next 10 days, only one day is forcasted to be in the 90's. All the rest mid to high 80's. We usually have a lot of 100 plus days this time of the year, so shouldn't complain. Just very humid.

This Thistle comes up every year in our big "Garden" in Pennsy at the same spot. It is loved by Butterflies right now.

I let a lot of thistles grow. One of the few thorny plants I love.
Thanks for my invitation, Janice.
Beautiful show on the lilies and coleus, Susan. Great daylily! I feel your pain about deadheading. I am now up to 2.5 hours a day. But how glorious was this yesterday?
