The tiger lilies are gorgeous and so are the faded Nikko Blue hydrangeas. I have only picked a few of my neighbors this year and haven't dried any either. We had a little shower yesterday after 2 days without rain, but today is sunny. I'm hoping we will have some rain free days so I can finish our deck. Problem is it's so blazing hot outside now.

Not that the rain last week helped - just made things feel more tropical. My poor plants, though.

Do you have red lily beetle in the States? it is the bane of my lilies - fortunately because it is red it is easy to spot, but it lays its larvae on the leaves which then proceed to eat them rapidly - a real pest.<br />Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-23308389763998074052013-07-17T15:32:36.307-04:002013-07-17T15:32:36.307-04:00the tiger lilies are gorgeous. that is an amazing ...the tiger lilies are gorgeous. that is an amazing color.
