Willow Dean Smith-fffo

Get Jiggy-best it has ever performed (maybe it is an unbearable heat lover!)

Garden Butterfly-blooms do look like they are flying!

Siloam David Kirchoff-one of my favorite Siloams but not showing the lavender color in the heat

so this is Flying Fox next to Wedding Dancer-WD is 6 1/2 inches-you can see how much larger FF is

Kierabel-last flower

Now I know how all those crop circles were made in the UK!!! They just put down water hoses and left them for a few days!!! lol

Wow Kate. Those mass shots of blooms are fantastic. So many still going. The one of your mids and mid lates in particular left my mouth hanging open. I think it was all the rain in May, but for me I've got loads of stout scapes and buds right now. I think I'm a couple weeks behind you on bloom though..........Speaking of, you need to add Flying Fox to the Database. It's a winner in every way..............And lol on your crop circles (with cute cat observing)...................Maryl

My favorite is your crop circle and cat picture! Great garden shot, your daylilies still look good. I did not take pictures yesterday, but I was surprised how well most of the daylilies looked. Maybe they are affected hy humidity too.

Maryl, I am so glad you have lots of scapes and buds!! I would have lots more buds but they are drying up and dropping off even with watering. I have lots of rebloom scapes coming up so hopefully will get rain at some point tor them. Can you believe the plants in that bed are only two years old????

Nancy, I have a cat that rides in my garden golf cart with me but this one, Batman, is too scared to ride. Bless him, he just runs along side the cart wherever we go. In this picture I think he was exhausted from our trek!!

I am speechless after seeing that field of blooms…two years old, how wonderful is that! Thanks for posting Substantial Evidence, love it every time I see that unique daylily.

Entwined in the Vine looking good in sll that heat!

Haha on your "crop circle" and love the kitty. Lovely group and the garden shot is intriguing. Substantial Evidence I need to t look up. Interesting coloration on it. Exotic Starfish reminds me of an iris. Quite a nice form on it. Most of yours look good for having so much heat and humidty.

You have a lot of real beauties today, Kate. Mean Green is wonderful. Beautiful on Entwined in the Vine; nice clump. Lovely color on Royal Girls-. Look beautiful in a clump. Exotic Starfish looks really great! Good colors! Get Ziggy has been really good this year, hasn't it? And I like Substantial Evidence; very soft appearance. the garden shots are the winners though.

I'm wowed by your third photo - the garden shot. Mean Green looks so nice next to Royal Girls! I think Royal Girls and Christopher Moody are the ones that grab me most today.

Am I detecting a favorite color pattern--lavender/purple and orange? Perhaps in the heat, the purples look more lavender. I see here that next week should be mild. Perhaps there is hope for July.
