Flowers

 Mostly sunny this morning with a temperature of 14C (57F).  DH had to be at Gleaners early today so we had to walk a little faster and not stop to chat with anyone on our walk. Saw a rabbit and some squirrels as well as the usual ducks and geese.

When we came back he went on his way and I did more hoeing and deadheading....a never ending job.
I noticed a new lily had opened. From one year to another I forget what I have so it was a pleasant surprise.

The Campanula  carpatica are beginning to open now. The white ones are not quite as open as the blue ones.  A little pansy seems to have taken root in the middle of this one.
 


There are others that I'd like to add but I have no more room.   I haven't had much luck growing Canterbury Bells in the past. Aren't they just gorgeous?

Nothing much to blog about otherwise. I hope you're having a good day.

  8. That's about what it is like in the Black Hills temperature-wise. We're really enjoying it after the extreme heat in Omaha.
    Your flowers are gorgeous. Please tell your Hubby thank you for his work with the gleaners. I think it's wonderful. We have a couple of pretty nice guys, don't we?
    Blessings,

  10. We have a few of the Companula persicifloia (Peach leaf companula) that come back every year. They are persistant. Not so the big old Canterbury Bells, I think. Mine didn't last.

  14. Beautiful lilies and I like bluebells, I have white and blue ones in the garden and they also bloom sporadically in our summer meadows.
    Many greetings go to you and I wish you nice walks.

  19. Yes it was you I thought of when I saw the set at the antique place...I always think of you when I see pretty teacups and saucers and teapots, too for that matter.
