A Kansas Country Garden- Third Week of June

A favorite combination; Salmon Daylily, Russian Sage and Sea Lavender.

You only have one day to enjoy this bloom.

In the summer garden, day lilies abound. As the buds form, I try to give the plant an extra dose of water and the reward is beautiful blooms.

Cherish each bloom for they last only a day, but there are more to follow.

A lovely pale yellow daylily.

Another in lovely shade of peach.

Perhaps my least favorite daylily, a double orange. Making a note where these are planted so next spring, I don't divide and plant them everywhere.

Who doesn't love an old-fashioned hollyhock?

The allium seem to glow in day's early light.

A summer annual, cleome will bloom most of the season.

Dahlberg Daisy is a little but mighty plant-love its cheerful blooms

A bee visits the Rose of Sharon shrub.

And now the hibiscus begins their bloom.

Yes, we will have ripe tomatoes by July 4th! We beat the deadline by a week.

Hoping for a long season of summer squash.
