Our Hibiscus began to bloom this week. Under its frame, we can see the orange Day Lily and another Hibiscus (a transplant.) Behind that, Gladiolus is preparing to bloom.

The Deck
Here's the back corner of the shed and the deck. The Hibiscus on the corner is starting to bloom. Check it out. The deck is soon to get a coat of stain. Scott and I are taking our time to pick a color we both love. Yesterday, on Wilson's evening walk, we studied the houses in our neighborhood. A lot of decks around-- unfortunately, there are not many houses the same color as ours. Guess we'll have to trust our instincts. Check back for an update.
Koi Pond
Here's Wilson, enjoying the Koi Pond. In the front you can see Gladiolus "Peter Pears," though they haven't begun to bloom yet. Sadly, none of the "Blue Skies" seem to have taken. I'll have to try again next year.
Front Yard
July is looking mighty fine here. This year I planted a new lily called "Moon Madonna," which I found at a little garden center near Theresa's house. It's very small, but hopefully it'll proliferate after a wintering.
Presently looking for some August bloomers to round out the summer. Any ideas?
