In spite of much cloudy weather and a general lack of sun & warmth, my garden is full of color and blooms. Every July I fall in love with my dark pink & yellow daylily, variety unknown. I can't help but take oodles of pictures of it. For the last two years it has been effected by what I believe is gall midge, with some of the buds never opening. (see last pic) I hope removing the affected buds will be enough to keep it under control.
Spirea blooms look so amazing up close, it is so easy to overlook their interesting flowers. Clematis seed heads are just plain interesting, and my Nikko Blue hydrangea has three different colored blooms on it once again.
I finally captured a Stellar Jay in a photo that wasn't blurry! I strung some peanuts up from a bird feeder to see just how smart they are, thus the bird IQ test. So far they haven't had much success. Comments and suggestions always welcome.
