This is the best time in the summer, for color in the yard. I enjoy walking around in the evening, seeing the different plants and flowers we have growing now.
This was a second packet of hollyhock seed that I planted last year. The flowers remind me of the “carnations” we used to make out of tissues, for decoration, when I was younger.

I bought this perennial at the garden shop. It looked pretty desperate for a home and some water, and now it is perking up, and I love the colors.

Our tiger lilies were a nice surprise this summer. The neighbors had pulled up the bulbs last year and offered them to us. They looked pretty sickly when we put them in the ground, and we weren’t sure they had survived.

These are some of the wildflower mix George spread around out front last year. I love the delicate color.

Another hollyhock surprise, shorter but the most colorful.

This is the one lone lily left after our midnight visit by a deer. There would usually be at least eight blooms around our lamppost.

Then there is the grey of rabbit and squirrel, together under the bird feeders, cleaning up the seed.
