Lavender and Lilies

It's summer in the flower garden, too. My mailbox bed has daylilies as tall as the mailbox. Also in full bloom: milkweed, coneflower, lavender, and roses. One of my favorite things about gardening is watching the progression of blooms throughout the growing season.

My spring garden was all pinks and purples. In the summer, there's a lot more yellow and orange. Those bright colors seem to be a better match for the steamy summer heat.
