Variety at last

Gone are the times of just yellow and blue, or the colors of spring bulbs, now I have many colors, some of them new to the garden this summer.

I found this lovely hardy geranium at a home garden sale.

I can hardly believe my eyes everytime I look at the hydrangea. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see so many blooms at one time.

The Monarda, planted last fall, is putting on quite a show for me.

Finally, I have nasturtiums in a grow bag, hanging from the fence in my vegetable garden. The vibrant colors of the blooms draw your eye so you have to go and take a closer look at all the gorgeous colors.

Shasta daisies are also new to my garden. A good old hardy standby to brighten a corner of the garden.

Yarrow, another newbie to the garden this year, and I must say, I am delighted with the color of this plant.

Lambs ear, which has been gracing the garden for three years now.

I didn't notice until I viewed the photos, that I had captured a picture of a bee zooming in to gather nectar from the flower. It is always a bonus when you manage to get photos like this one.
