A few more pictures:
1) Asiatic Lily - red
2) Asiatic Lily -red
3) Asiatic Lily - yellow
4) Asiatic Lily - sort of "peach" color

I would have included a picture of my rose "Caldwell Pink" with several hundred blooms, but the rains pretty well ruined it for now.

Hmmmmmm, let's see......I wonder which pictures I would like best? LOL

Pretty pictures, Cecil!

Could you take an "overview" picture of your flower garden? I'd bet that is beautiful!

Thanks for the compliments.

Dana, I would love to do that......
except...... flowers come and go. I just take individual snapshots of whatever happens to be blooming and looking good at the moment.
Recently, I posted some pictures of roses. Then we had 3 different heavy rains, and those blooms got battered, as did the daisy blooms and the poppy blooms.
So... I don't think you'd like to see what the overall beds look like now.
Besides, this is a very informal setting... I call it "natural.":basic05
Many people have to have everything lined up in a row, and like colors and heights together.
My "natural" setting includes wildflowers that come up where they want to, and other plants that I have just stuck in the ground where I could find a place.

The good thing about all this is that from the street it looks pretty good at times to passers by.
But.... if things look good overall sometime, I may try to oblige and take a picture or two. I have two beds that are about 50 feet long, then about 8 other beds scattered hither and yon.

Wow, Cecil, sounds like a full-time job to me!! From one who HATES gardening!! That's why I love pictures of gardens so much, because I know I'll never have one! I remember many years ago admiring my grandmother's flower garden. It was spectacular when everything was blooming. I always wished I had inherited my grandparent's genes for gardening -- they could make a dead stick grow and produce beautiful flowers!! LOL All I can produce is the dead stick! Oh well.........

That one went right by me, until I remembered the color RED.
Of course I can tell which ones you liked best.
