I think my favorites are the flowers in the third picture. This is one of the many reasons why late spring and early summer are the best times of the year.

Down here in TN we are entering one of my favorite times...the riotous shades and hues of all sorts of daylilies adorn my garden beds. I must confess that any striving for tastefulness on my part goes out the window as I let my daylily areas be a colorful circus. I view them with the generously tolerant eye of a besotted parent who thinks her out of control brood can do no wrong. I miss it when the azaleas and rhodos finish up but am appeased because that means it's almost daylily time.

Our drought here is so bad, even the weeds in what's left of the lawn are brown and withered. I miss my gardens and pots and hanging thingies... I’m soooo jealous!

The pansies are some sort of old-fashioned variety I can find at only one garden store. The irises, though, are Siberian irises, which come in that color and white and a sort of magenta. mrs whatsit: Thanks!

Are them the irises in the vase? That does look like that would make a great painting.
