Blooms and Blooms to Come

My mother was here the other day and she was commenting on all of my flowers. She reminded me of the time when I was a kid and just didn't understand her compassion for flowers. It brought back a lot of memories of her flower beds and pots on the porch and the weeding and the planting. Remember the saying "we all become our parents" and we never want to believe it! Well, it happens and when you are young you hate it....but as you get older you realize it is not so bad and why should it be? They raised you well, took care of you, taught you never to spit, use a sidewalk if there is one to use, if that doesn't work get a bigger hammer and so on! I think it happens to us all and I am okay with it.....Not so sure my children are! Enjoy some pictures of my flowers that I have put up for my mom!

Remember the Lily before it was all in bloom...well here it is in full bloom!
Another one of my favorites....Bees Balm. Love it comes back every year fuller and fuller. This is a new plant this year but starting to bloom the bees and hummingbirds love it too!

Day Lily just loaded this year with blooms!

This plant spreads like a weed, it goes everywhere but it is worth it because of the bright pink flowers. It always seems to pop up just where you need a little color. I love the garden it is always full of surprises.

My new Hardy Fuschia.....they die back in the Winter and look like a dead stick. Pulled last years out thinking it was dead :(

And more blooms to come. This is another Bees Balm plant in another part of the garden that is loaded with buds, it might be a surprise what color this one is!
