Red, White and Blue in the Garden

It's the Fourth of July and the garden is bursting with color and bloom:

Red from a new Cone Flower 'Cheyenne Flower'

White from the Fairy Wings

and Blue from the Balloon Flowers.

Even the shape of the blooms reminds me of the starbursts of fireworks:

A newly blooming Cone Flower

A perennial sunflower (with visitor)

A newly blooming hydrangea

The first day lily to bloom this summer.

Even the tiny blooms and leaves of Thrift near the bench.

 seem to be "bursting in air"

in the early July garden.

Oh, say, can you see?

The grand finale--
