I really don’t know what this rose is. I have 3 bushes, side by side, and they’ve been in my garden for 20 years. I just love them.

Asiatic Lilies, love the orchard one. Most of these are new.

Just love Catmint, hides the weeds at least for a while. The Yellow is False Indigo and of course Japanese/Siberian Iris. Can never tell the difference.

This rose is “Oh My” a prolific bloomer.

This robust climber is “Winner’s Circle” Blooms for long periods then rests awhile. Been there for about 8 years.

Black Eyed Susan looks outstanding this year.

Brick walkway my husband installed and Black Eyed Susan that completely surprised me this year. Started from 2 plants.

One of many Daylilies in amongest the hybrids.

Dayliliy and Hybrids. Sorry I don’t know the names, I’m really bad about that.

Another view. The frog is hiding his eyes because the Clematis didn’t do well this year. Another problem to solve.

Isn’t she a pretty one? More will bloom end of July/August. Casa Blanca, a tall white come out in August and is what inspired me to plant more.
