The peonies are in full bloom, and beginning to fade.

Mixed with the hostas, they are still beautiful!

And of course the lilies love July!
Come back soon! ~~~Deb
Love your yard especially those lilies.
ReplyDeleteLove, Ann
What a beautiful space! It looks like a tremendous amount of work, though. So much lawn to mow...
ReplyDeleteAiyana
What an amazing garden!!!
ReplyDeleteThe peony season is never long enough for me...
What a beautiful walk through this majestic garden! Such a pretty lush, green backdrop for all the beautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous garden!
ReplyDeleteWow! The green is almost blinding to these Arizona eyes- just lovely and so lush!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is enormous compared to mine.
ReplyDeleteMy Peonies are long gone - I wish they would stay all Summer long.
What refreshing pictures (if pictures can be refreshing...)!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful area! The hosta and peony look great together. I've never seen a Japanese lilac. Looks gorgeous! Jean
ReplyDeleteThanks to all who came for a stroll through the garden. I'm glad you enjoyed the visit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely garden. Very tranquil and serene. Wonderful place to unwind after a day at work.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the post about your yarrow hedge. I've done something similar along my rocky drive. The yarrow is thriving so far along with some Russian sage and a few iris. All drought tolerant and tough.

Everything is absolutely gorgeous! I'd love to walk the garden in real life. :)
ReplyDeleteThe lilies are stunning. Here in TX they have mostly come & gone already.
ReplyDeleteCome see my visit to Moody Gardens: http://anapronaday.blogspot.com/search/label/gardening
Hey Deb,
ReplyDeleteI can't get on your other blog...it comes up but none of your posts show up...
Soooooo beautiful! I especially like the bridal wreath! We have a bridal wreath here in Florida -- not sure it is the same as yours, but it sure is beautiful whe in bloom!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet, kind words on my blog! I'm always blessed when I see your lovely face there!
