1. Peonies are about done and Delphinium are going to open soon. If only I could manage to get them to bloom at the same time what a bouquet that would make!

   1. My peonies got wiped out by the storm.
      At least you always have a succession of flowers in your garden! Better than a bouque!

2. I love false indigo too! I love the blue bush effect when it’s all in full bloom. I don’t have any where I am nbow, but I used to have some. Gorgeous plant and I recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely bush–and color!

   1. It looks great in a bouquet as well–I love the spiky flowers in any bouquet!

3. Beautiful flowers and stunning photography.

   1. Thanks! The garden does all the work!

4. I still have peonies, even though some were destroyed by the thunderstorm and hail! Now I’ve got lupine, geraniums, marigolds, border lilies, snapdragons, black-eyed Susans and dh’s favaorite by the pond, fireweed. I’ve got to look up false indigo – hope it grows here in northern Montana! Ah, summer – even though all the tulips and daffies are done, I look forward to more color.

   1. You must have a fabulous garden! I will have to look up fireweed…and my marigolds are in a flat waiting to be planted. Hope I have time this weekend.

5. My garden is blooming with daylillies in many different colors. It’s my favorite flower of summer.

   1. I have a lot of day lilies, too. However, most of mine are stella d’oro–a solid yellow. I would like to branch out into a few different varieties. Do you have a favorite, favorite??

6. I just planted a row of 10 false indigos this spring. I hope they will be blooming this time next year!

7. Stunning photographs – to be turned into a quilt design one day?

   1. Flowers are a very common theme in my quilting…great idea–a false indigo quilt. So many ideas…
