It's rained a lot the last few weeks, but I got out yesterday to get a few more pictures.

July 20th

Have not been out to take pictures because it's been wet, but there are a few new things in the garden.

Some yellow day lilies opened up after the rain.

I don't know what these crazy guys are, but they sure are neat!

Our Hostas have started to bloom.

And there are TONs of these guys. They are bigger than grapefruit.

Last month, we ran across a sale on bulbs at our local Mardens. Since we had a flower bed that didn't have anything in it, we picked up a ton of bulbs to fill it up. One of the packages was labeled as "Norwegian Daffodils" and were like nothing that we had ever seen before. We were skeptical but, I planted about 40 bulbs spread out generously in the empty patch. Not even 3 weeks later, we were treated to this:

The best part is, there are 3 more of these getting ready to open. Our wildflower patch has some new arrivals. Some interesting Clover flowers that I have never seen before and some purple Bachelors' Buttons.

If you are noticing a penchant for blue and purple flowers over other colors, it's not by happenstance. Sarah really loves purple and her choices show it.
