AUGUST LILIES

It's August, and Cora's new deck continues to delight us 
as more plants come into bloom.
This Lace Cap Hydrangea was blooming unseen in a crowded corner until Cora dragged it into its spot as one of the "Anchor Tenants" on this float. Look how happy it is here! And can you spot Kelly, peeping out 
like a garden gnome as she trims it?

 

Our next hope is that the Trumpet Vine on the

 Canoe Dock will grow down and intertwine with it!

The lilies that Kelly planted under the new herbs 

have started to poke through.

Stargazers and Casablancas like these....

....towered over this tub of Parsley.....but I was so busy smelling and picking them, that I forgot to take a picture.

These Oriental Lilies are happy in the Rosemary bed.

 The Sage and Mint are waiting for a fragrant rose 

to tower over them and climb the trellis.

And, as promised, Allen created a new perch for the Willow Cottage Barbecue to keep its feet dry in its spot under the Willow Tree....actually, Henk did all the work!

Here are several views of it to give 

some perspective on its location.

When the wood dries, it will be stained 

to match the rest of the area.
