Parade of Peacocks Daylily

Parade of Peacocks daylily. This one is a spider variety.

Newberry Festival daylily. This one is more of raspberry color. It usually
blooms until the 4th of July, but my kitty attacked it after I took the photo
and broke the whole stalk off which had numerous
unopened flower buds.

Bumblebee on the salvia.


Update - we've had a turtle in the backyard recently. I gave him/her some water
yesterday and it loved it - but this evening him/her was banished to
the front yard. We caught the turtle eating the tomatoes
that were just about ready to pick.  I hope it doesn't
find it's way back into the backyard. I may have
to banish him/her even further.
