A Photo a Week Challenge: Flower
The daylilies aren’t blooming yet, though I think they will be before the week is finished. Perhaps this is a good time to remember the gardens of 2018 which were a month late because of the cold spring. I think we’re doing the cold spring again with the addition of pouring rain, lightning, and wind.
Good thing the climate isn’t changing!

We had a cold, wet spring. My tomatoes are finally blooming, but I don’t think we’ll have fruit until the end of July or even into August. Your garden was beautiful, and I hope it will be beautiful again this year. 🙂

What gorgeous flowers, and such a spray of wonderful colour – the purple ones particularly! I hope they catch up for a similar display this year. 🙂

Some — those purple ones are blooming all over the garden this year — are doing okay. The rest are full of buds but simply haven’t bloomed yet. Very late this year.

They look either purple or blue — or sometimes pink — depending on the light. They seem to have all three colors in them.

Wow – three for the price of one! That’s some plant… 🙂

It’s something about the way the color reacts to sunlight. Sometimes, when I take a picture of these purple flowers, the pictures come out deep pink — maybe mauve. And sometimes, they are ocean blue.

Wonderful. Birds’ feathers can be like that too. I find the way these things can appear to change colour really fascinating – and beautiful. 🙂

Lovely garden Marilyn, it’s photos like that, that get me through the winter.

I thought everything was late LAST year, but they are even later THIS year. The lilies are covered with fat buds so hopefully, if it doesn’t rain the rest of the week …
