Flowers in June

I'm joining Today's Flowers!

Each morning finds me outside doing garden/yard work. Didn't get anything done last week when I was in class or on the road. I never do seem to want to work in the house. Park Hill garden tour tomorrow in Denver with Sarah!
The delphiniums are especially pretty right now.
When I looked at the individual flowers, I noticed the spurs in the middle.
Barbra Streisand from Weeks Roses is one bush I planted in Wally's memory. Click on the name to read more. I really believe he would have loved this one.
This is one of our Rocky Mountain penstemons . I used to have it at another house before we moved here. It really needs to be moved to a drier spot in the garden because it would spread more.
I think I was successful in spraying some weeks this morning. Next up is spraying for the grasshoppers. If you look closely there are some eating the violet leaves! There are too many to ignore, so I'm hoping the good bugs will be hiding when I start that job. Wishful thinking, I know. I do love my ladybugs, butterflies, and the occasional preying mantis.

Eye Candy

I just couldn't pass up the chance to show off the white and pink lilies one more time.
This clump of day lilies has needed to be split for several years. I did dig up another large clump and give it to my brother for his new gardens when he built his house. His clump was split into enough plants to go about half way across his house.
I guess I was mistaken earlier when I said the flax were my only blue flowers. I forgot about these delphiniums!
A poor picture, but I included it anyway. Makes me think of England with the gray sky. The hook will have a hummingbird feeder on it later.
