A spent frond of an aruncus..which I didn't even notice when it was in flower!
If you're not quite awake, this bold purple phlox will certainly open your eyes...
So far so good with the tri-colored beech. My second attempt...I'm determined to make it grow!
Beautiful oriental lilies have been outstanding performers..3 wks. now!
A totally lucky shot!
These are 'just' Stella D' Oros...I say that because it's the most common variety of daylilies grown.
"Oh No! It's that lady trying to blind me...again!"
Food for birds...provided by this wild honeysuckle.
Hope you enjoyed the tour. Head out early tomorrow and see what beauty awaits in your garden...

I SO agree with you Lynn - the morning time in the garden is the best! And if everyone is still sleeping and I can spend some time there just looking at the plants - it's even better! I said this before and I am saying again: your garden is beautiful! And pictures are great! Your post made me think - what am I doing in front of my computer this gorgeous morning?! I'm taking my coffee and going to the garden! BTW, that dragonfly shot is good! I didn't see any of them in my garden yet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful indeed. The color is wonderful! So vivid-just the way I like it.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! those photos are just breathtaking!!!! you have one pretty place there friend.
ReplyDeleteYes...if you put up a Fertilzer Friday post...you have to put your name and blog address in the linky thing....I will put it in for you if you just leave me comments if that is easier...I so do NOT wnat to miss this garden growing!
Lynn, you are so right there is just something so peaceful about the flower gardens i the morning before the world gets so busy.
ReplyDeleteYour lilies are so pretty and I checked out the website.They have some beauties.
I love tall phlox and like the purple. My variegated phlox is just starting to open its buds. I have been trying to be so patient waiting on it. Yeah, right. ;-) I checked it everyday.
Glad you can finally get into my blog alright now.I am still scratching my head over that problem.
Have a great weekend!
Hi Lynn, very beautiful photos of your garden as always. The flowers are all so attractive. The wild honeysuckles look so 'appetising'. Indeed it is a beautiful morning! TQ for a wonderful tour.
ReplyDeleteI could not stop thinking of your beautiful photos...so I had to come back and take a long long look!!! I love this post!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe morning light is beautiful and you've done a lovely job capturing it in your photos. The flowers are beautiful. The dragonfly shot is great! Don't you love it when you get "lucky" with a shot like that? Though I think in your case, skill was involved, too. :) ~~Rhonda
ReplyDeleteI love all of your color!! The lilies with the cosmos are great. My fav shot was the sun shining through the roses. I enjoyed those pictures so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Tatyana,
ReplyDeleteSome mornings are just too beautiful not go out and enjoy...this was one of them. It's been bright and muggy earlier and earlier now so by 10, I'm done with it! Water the pots and venture out again after dinner. I'm at the pc too often,(and too long) too! Thanks, the dragonfly was actually easy as he didn't flutter about too much, just hard to focus.
Thank you, Tina, for visiting! Have a great weekend!
Haha, Toots, two visits in one day! I didn't get a chance yesterday but next week I'll do FF...have fun!
The morning sun accenting your stunning flowers sure is an eye-opener. Even got a few bees and a cool looking dragonfly. Pretty, pretty !!!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely breath-taking photos, Lynn. The light in early morning surely makes everything look far more brilliant than most other time of the day.
ReplyDeleteEarly morning is my favorite time for garden photo-taking too.
I love all of your photos. Your garden looks best, best, best!!!
STUNNING from every angle, Lynn!
ReplyDeletethese are no lucky shots!
these are the result of beautiful design!
always in awe of your work~

Lynn, I also enjoy the early morning of coffee and camera in hand, as I wander the garden.Some of my best photos have been captured just after the sun has risen.
ReplyDeleteI love the early morning too. I love hearing the birds sing and seeing everything look so pretty
ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden!Congratulations!Ilove.
ReplyDeleteIncredible portraits! I also love strolling my garden in the mornings, glad I found blotanical which led me to YOU!

I love your phlox, I have quite a lot of variety, problem is deer love them too...they eat the new shoots but they branch out new ones, talk about determination! ha ha ha My new ones this year is an orange phlox, it the deer won't find it, it will be my first time to see it bloom.
ReplyDeleteLynn, all your plants are gorgeous!!!
Beautiful Gardens and pictures I will keep your blog in my favorites... By the way I need your garden sign, it would work just fine here!!!
ReplyDeleteLynn
Lynn, I do agree with you. A person who loves her garden loves the morning. How wonderful to be greeted by cool fresh air, chirping birds, freshly opened flowers, dew on the leaves... Isn't it the most pleasant way to start the day?
ReplyDeleteYour photos wonderfully capture the spirit of the summer garden. I love your combo of the purple Phlox, chartreuse Sumac and ruby Monarda, jewels of the garden
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos! The sunbeams are marvellous. I am not a morning person and about the only way I would get pictures of a sunrise over my garden is if I stayed up all night ;-) Your pictures are almost tempting enough for me to set my alarm, though. Almost. hahahaha
ReplyDeleteYour blooms are amazing! I love those lilies and will try hard to find something similar! What a show indeed!
ReplyDeleteLovely post,
ReplyDeleteYour garden is full of colors,
Oh, Lynn, those are beautiful shots. How did you get those insect macros? Splendid. Your garden is beautiful and bountiful.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of the morning light is well captured in your photos along with the plants in your lovely garden.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, every shot is amazing! Your light is much better than what we have. :-) LOL at the bee comment too!
ReplyDeleteFrances
Can we eat those berries? They look tasty
ReplyDeleteI love going out in the morning, too, sometimes with my camera, and other times with my hoe. I've also been seeing holes and planting more plants. My plan is that the ones I got on the way home from church today are the last ones for the season. We'll see if that's true.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos and sentiments!
