All right. I found the threads that show off the garden. But remember I was trying mostly to show off blooms and many roses and daylilies at that. But I have a lot more in my garden than just daylilies. Lots of Honeysuckle and other flowers for the humminingbirds. Butterfly bushes for the hummers and butterflies. Lots of zinnias and much more to attract butterflies. Lots of bee attracting flowers for the bumblebirds and honey bees.

Then there is just so many shrubs for the backyard songbirds. Fruiting shrubs for the winter and summer. Plus fruiting small trees and even fruit for people and the birds both. Like blueberries! And three small ponds and three birdbaths for water and bird bathing. I don't spray with insecticids which keeps it all good for the birds. I even have lots of roses, which I spray with a fungicide so no blackspot but never any insecticide so the birds love to pick off the aphids and other bugs that live in a garden.

Ok, this is what I posted. Lots of multiple pictures in each post but I had to do many posts to show off much of my garden. Lots here you don't even see but it might give you all a better idea.
