A harvest of sweet, juicy corn, fresh off the stalks is always a welcome treat.

Theme for today is red and white. Lots of lovely blossoms in the garden!

Collages show them off so well!

True this!

Day lily “Marquee Moon”, is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It’s creamy white elegance is most welcome among all the flashy tones.

Veggies harvested in my garden today.
Not much, but it’s a start!

This Hemerocallis , “Celtic Merchant” Is one of my top favorites in the garden.
It is very fragile and multiples slowly. The showy flowers are easily damaged by the constant rain we have been having, but occasionally a perfect flower appears.

This lily tastes as good as it looks!
Just ask that ant with the huge appetite!

Another site I am on has a theme “RoseWednesday”. This is my offering for today.
Rose, “Zephirine Drouhin” fondly dubbed “Lady Z” is blooming her little heart out this year.
She is completely thornless and has the fragrance of wild roses, perfuming the air in the garden.

Oriental lilies are bursting into bloom and giving the garden an extra special glow!
I have several new ones this year, all in pots to keep the critters from digging and eating the bulbs.
