Helen has a very nicely planned garden with lots of butterfly attracting flowers!
First the flowers up next to the house as you walk along the driveway.
Tom told me orange blackberry lily! Want to remember it by typing it heere!
Aren't these cute daylilies that copy tiger lilies!
A nice seating area in her back yard...with more flowers around to the right, but we had places to go so I didn't get to walk around and take more photos.
I told my friend I liked this big evergreen (the first one) because it's branches droop down then sweep up at the ends. Her favorite was the next one, a white pine. Now I have to identify this one, she thinks might be a hemlock.
(I know it's not this one...because, Eastern Hemlock below)
I'm guessing it's a kind of fir...hope my tree-savy friends will save me here!
(Yay, Tom came through with Norway Spruce!!)
Sharing with Floral Friday Fotos.
Today's quote:
It's like, at the end, there's this surprise quiz: Am I proud of me? I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth what I paid?

...the orange blackberry lily is neat. The big evergreen looks like a Norway spruce, they age gracefully.
ReplyDeleteAh, somehow I knew that, but got befuddled by Norway in the name.
DeleteIt is also daisy and coneflower season here.
ReplyDeleteWe can share this season with beautiful flowers everywhere!

Hope you also have a great day. It's cooler here at night, which is delighful when we don't have smoke.
DeleteThe flowers there are so beautiful. I love your friend's backyard. So lovely there.
ReplyDeleteI know when she doesn't answer her phone she's outside reading or watching the birds. I don't blame her one bit!
DeleteWhat a great backyard to hang out in. Love seeing all those flowers. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteIt must offer many hours of pleasure to her and her husband.
