Cats Whiskers is a perfect name for that 1st plant, Lea. They are all gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms, I love the last two lilies. Take care, have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms. I had Cat's Whiskers in my garden several years ago. They are interesting plants.
ReplyDeleteTerrific close ups.
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms. My favorites were the tiger lilies, the white Rose of Sharon, and (of course) the crape myrtle. 96 is just a little too hot for me!
ReplyDeleteThe tiger lilies are gorgeous, Lea. Your garden has a tropical look this July. Does that 96 degree temperature come with high humidity?
ReplyDeleteI love the cat whiskers, and the lilies!
ReplyDeleteThat first bloom is exceptional and unfamiliar.
ReplyDelete...oh how I wish that I could grow Crape Myrtle.
ReplyDeleteLea, you have lots of beautiful blooms. I always love crepe myrtles, mine have just started blooming this week. The temps have been hard on the shrubs and flowers. Watering is a must and a daily chore.
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Florence (Alabama) and know what that heat is like! Beautiful blooms - yours are way ahead of ours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty double daylily. I've not seen one in person, yet. I have a double classic in bud.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying viewing your garden and the Cypress Vine is very interesting. Your lilies are gorgeous too! Happy Bloom Day!
