Gotta Love the Lilies, Part 3

OK, I take back everything I said about Double Oriental Lily Lodewijk. It took three years to finally bloom as nice as they have this season.


Sweet Rosy Double Oriental Lily is another three year experiment. It looks much better this season.
A nice cluster of Lilium Conca D'or.  This group blooms a little later because they only get afternoon sun. These are 7 feet tall. I'm looking up to take the picture.


















An odd couple to be sure. This is variegated Canna Lily Phasion with fern, Peppermint Twist or Spinner Phlox and a single stalk of while Phlox David.

This is stem of Buddleia Evil Ways that flopped over into the bee balm. I thought the foliage and bloom contrast was interesting.
A nice group of Bright Eyes Phlox.
A pair of pale pink Cleome starting to open.
Golden Jubilee Hyssop in full bloom. Hyssop is a magnet for butterflies and pollinators.


The are blooms of an unknown species of Hosta.




















Buddeia or butterfly bush flowers have a very sweet scent. Butterflies can resist this plant.
