Melting into July

 High temps headed our way for the weekend.

The hydrangea will droop quickly.

The filipendula will just sway in the breeze.

Trying a Golden Dewdrop standard

 on the top deck this year.-

 yea- I know- 

it's  purple- not yellow;

 but that is the name.

 The day lilies will just 

keep doing their thing.

One bloom a day.

 The coneflower (Echinacea)

 are happy and bloom 

at the feet of the little girl.

Oh and white hydrangea -

 they just glisten at dusk.

These are some of the 

first hydrangea I planted.

Still like how the colors play out. 

Crocosmia-

always here for the 4th of July.

A dwarf bee balm- 

monarda- living out its namesake.

Gooseneck Loosestrife bend their heads

 as they stand guard to the back yard.

Running errands today I spotted

 the Queen Anne's lace along the sidewalk.

Such a study of delicate tiny blooms.

So, I will keep cutting back 
and cutting back in the garden.
And stand with the hose and the watering cans.
It's just what you do as
 June melts into July.
