A Few Bright Spots Despite The Flooding Rains

I was able to get out yesterday during
a break in the continual rains we've had
here in Texas. Most everything is washed out
but I did manage to find a little color in the garden.
I am thankful that all the ponds and lakes are
full again - a blessing...Our local dam, Denison Dam, has
gone over the spillway, 4th
time in it's history. It was in 1957, 1990, 2007 and
now 2015. When it was built in the 1940s
they said that this would only occur
 once every 100 years.

Apricot Bliss rose.

Unknown lily, but so bright!

Daylily, Russian Rapsody

I have moss! This is my front patio and the
cracks are usually filled with dirt and sand. When
the heat returns, I'll be sad to see this go.

Daylily, Warrior Prince

Blooming Now and Paper Butterfly Daylily

We had a really good rain. More shots of
the lovely Barbara Mitchell daylily.

Navajo Princess daylily after the rain.

Paper Butterfly daylily just opened today.  This is another one I
moved last summer to the shade garden. I thought it would
good with the fern behind it.

Warrior Prince daylily. I moved this one to the
sunny area where I have a red, orange and yellow
flower theme. This one doesn't fade much
from the hot sun. 

This is Echinacea (coneflower) that I planted from
seed last year. I love how the unopened flower looks
in this photo.

Russian Rhapsody daylily color is even more
enhanced on a cloudy day.

Warrior Prince Daylily

Warrior Prince for me, has lots of scrapes loaded with flower buds and 
reblooms at least once. It gets to be about 24 inches tall with
 5 inch blooms. See below photos for more shots of
 Warrior Prince. Don't forget you can double click
 on the photo for a larger view.

A squirrel that comes everyday to the bird feeder and "pigs"
 out on the birdseed. I give it bread but  he
 or she still wants ALL the birdseed.

My first bell pepper. I will be picking this very soon.

Black Krim tomato. Can't wait to eat them.

Purple onion peeking out of the ground. I will harvest this soon.
