Ahh, the last day of June. Now the really hot weather begins--although we've had a heat wave with 90s the past three days. Still, the flowers are at peak. The daisies lift their heads to the sun with the butterfly bush and the hollyhocks in the background.
The Coreopsis loves the heat but shows a little wear and tear from the rains earlier in the week.
The perennial sunflower Helianthus looks okay now, but I had to tie it upright because it was on the ground. I also had to use Bayer All in One on it because some kind of insect was sucking the life out of it.
Fresh as daisy after its insect bath and posture control...
The daylilies in my neighbors borders planted two to three years ago look refreshed after a watering.
The daylilies put on quite a show and beckon you to walk along the border, but the entrance to my secret garden is almost hidden by the daisies. I put up a sign and shot low to show the stepping stones that lead into the garden bench and a small opening. Once inside the area, the smell of the butterfly bush and the flowers surrounding you is intoxicating. Sorry, no smells available online!
