The Second Week Of June In The Front Yard

How is it the end of the week already? With all three kids at home all day long, it went by in a bit of a blur.

Up first, my lilies from The Dad were blooming when we got home last week. The color is so rich and pretty, which actually makes them really hard (for me) to photograph.

I need to staple the name of this one to my forehead. My brain refuses to remember it. Oxalis-somethin' or other.

This plant was new to me last year and now I'm convinced I need one of every color. 'Thunder & Lightning' Knautia.

One of the Sedum in my wagon is blooming.

This plant isn't very attractive. I've never had one grow like this before. It's super floppy and gangly, but the flowers are a really pretty color. 'Sour Grapes' Penstemon.

Another piece of the Veronica spicata, 'Royal Candles' is out front.

Here's a shot of the south side from the front. The hops is giant already.

The pot of Impatiens under the tree is fillin' in.

Outside the fence, a Feverfew has made its home. That stuff comes up everywhere.

Down in the parking strip, my clearance rack Delphinium is blooming. It is SO pretty. This one is 'Magic Fountains Dark Blue/Dark Bee.'
Don't ask me why it looks a different color in every photo.
Oh wait, I know why, amateur photographer.

Another one of my favorites is the yellow Cape Fuchsia. I have two photos from last year, blown up and framed, and hanging in our master bathroom. So pretty. I think I need to get a pink one again.

The first Cosmos flower opened. This one is 'Sensation Purity.'

And last, the Penstemon digitalis is bloomin'. This one is 'Husker Red.'

The sun is finally out today. Pouring down rain for the first two days of summer vacation was enough to make a person crazy. Three kids locked in a house is not the greatest of times. But we're back to good weather and I've already been out with my camera. :)

Shameless plug alert: Just a little reminder that you can purchase my floral photographs in my Etsy shop. If you see one in a post that isn't in the shop, shoot me an email and I'll list it for ya. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RindyMae
