My back perennial garden is growing with lots of rain this week. I was so lucky yesterday, out in a torrential rain storm with the 3 dogs (on our way to the groomer) with nothing but a sweat jacket for protection. Not one of the finer weather moments I've encountered lately but the rainy weather this week has been making my garden grow.

The roses have been in bloom since earlier this month but the hydrangeas have just started.

Lilies and more lilies have been blooming thanks to the alternating rain and sun.

Lovely flowers! I don't have space for a garden, but I've been thinking of buying a potted orchid for the indoors.
Beautiful!
I posted about my garden on Thursday

Your garden is gorgeous! I'll just pretend I want those lovely little weeds in my front yard...
Your garden is beautiful! Right now I only have a couple of flowering plants. I am looking forward to my lilies which are usually mid-summer where I am! ~Val

Thanks! :)
Gorgeous flowers! My hydrangeas have been blooming since the first week of June but your lilies are ahead of mine ( there are wild daylilies blooming in the ditches around here though. Veggies wise the bunnies are winning a battle w/ me for my lettuce. I am on the 3rd planting and not a leaf for me yet!
Ruth, your garden is beautiful and so colorful! Love your lilies.
Hugs,
Donna
Wow, gorgeous garden!! I can imagine fairies perched upon the flowers - have you jumped into those drawing fairy books yet?
Hi Ruth,
Your garden looks great - nothing like a lot of rain to help out.
I love your new Humming bird paintings - I tried to photograph one in my garden but it was moving too fast.
Have a wonderful day.

Your garden is beautiful! I l love those white lilies. I haven't seen any of those around here. Just beautiful!!!
I love the combination of flowers...so many pretty colors! I'm in a condo and will be happy to get a few potted plants SOON! ♥
Hello Ruth,
You have beautiful garden particularly lilies. I like lilies and yours are beautiful indeed.
Here in France we do not have humming birds. I think they need heat and I saw some specimen while travelling in French Indies.
I like very much your blue painting with the humming bird. Very creative.
Thank you very much for your comments on my blog.
I wish you a nice weekend and a peaceful July 4th.
H.O-G
