What's Blooming in the Garden - Mid-August

Here it is mid-August already and soon enough it will be fall. Hints of it are already popping up in the garden. Let’s take a peek…



Resurrection Lily, Magic lily or Naked lily...take your pick...are blooming right on schedule.


A lavender colored Rose of Sharon slowly unfolds.




Lovely white Balloon flowers.



Sunflowers from the "herb" garden.



Mixed basils sunning on the patio.



From the "blue garden", a butterfly bush peeks over the bench.

I love it when a plan comes together!

  1. My Magic Lilies haven't bloomed yet. Think the heat must have did them in for the year. Everything looks lovely.

  5. I am visiting SC from California and I now realize why my basil looks sick. Apparently it likes it hot and humid!

  8. How wonderful to see your beautiful flowers and herbs. Here in Texas we have given up on it all with the extreme heat and drought. So, thank-you for sharing your lovely garden.
