My allium are in full bloom. My rudbeckia plants are enormous! They are probably going to get split this fall. They are kind of crowding my knockout roses and shading my purple salvia a bit too much.

I've been enjoying all your flowers, now finally I can post a few of mine. Here are my stargazer lilies, the ones whose color was off at the start, now they more beautiful then I thought they'd be. This is the rose bush I got for Mother's day. I hope to keep it going over winter in that container. This is a flowering cabbage. Something new I tried this year. One of our little kittens, which we named Zoe.

That lily is so showy! Love the rose, beautiful red. I am so excited, I am pretty sure we are getting rain today, it's so dark, they expect heavy rainfall thank goodness, everything is so dry around here, it's been at a little over two weeks without a drop.

ok...whats the gray foliage with pink flowers?possibly the stems sticking up in spring? I like the darker pink daylillys too.I just love your bee balms.I need to cut mine so they'll rebloom. I never can seem to grow poppys.I'm just stuck looking at every1 elses.I grew some in the fridge once.they died when tried to let grow outside the fridge.I do faithfully wintersow them every year.
I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!

From TV bits on National Geographic and Public TV, worker bees are female, drones I think sit around and wait to mate with the queen and don't do any work. Here's a bit I found on the web. From birth, males have certain advantages over females (workers). While emerging workers have to climb out of their brood cells all by themselves, baby drones are helped out by nurse bees; and they don't have to do a single thing around the nest. But there are distinct disadvantages to being a male. When food supplies are low or when winter approaches, workers do not hesitate to kick drones out of the nest, where they inevitably perish. And a male who is lucky enough to score with a queen pays the ultimate price. During mating, his reproductive parts get ripped out of him, and he dies.

everything at my house has dried up. We had about 10 minutes of rain on Sunday and that's the first in over 2 months now. I've given up on watering.

I'm still waiting for my hibiscus to bloom. It keeps getting bigger thou and the buds are ever growing upward. We haven't had rain in three weeks except for a tinkle last Sunday, enough to make it humid.
