What a lovely "stroll" through your garden this morning! And, to have a bee pose for the photographer is just the right touch.

Beautifully captured!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is so beautiful, Sam, and so are those summer photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! Your garden is splendid.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

My garden is full of beautiful blooming things, but you have just reminded me that crepe myrtles are the one thing that don't grow in Maine that do grow in Houston. By the time we return there they will be completely gone and I will have missed their lovely blooms.
ReplyDeleteHi Sam, your flowers are gorgeous, looks like they line your driveway, what a pleasant view to return home to.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers and photos, ,Sam! It is nice to see a bee hard at work in your garden :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely flowers you have, and I am so glad to see the bees doing their work. Especially since the last few years they have had their problems. We need our bees if we are going to have flowers and fruits, and honey.

Beautiful Sam. I want to come and just stroll through your yard, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSam, Beautiful flowers indeed! Our cone flowers attract bees and butterflies like crazy... Laurie bought a number of flowering plants for our deck this year where they're visible right out our dining room window. A deer recently came through and ate about 80 of her hostas...Last year they didn't even last this long! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, Sam. My garden is suffering this year because of the heat. The flowers don't last long.
ReplyDeleteYou're married to a wonderful photographer Sam:)
ReplyDeleteSame things blooming here..albeit no pretty crepe myrtle..how gorgeous against the blue sky.
I love split rail fences!
Your photographer did his usual great job on you flowers.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all Sam, you summer garden is alive, beautiful and THRIVING! The sign of good gardener who can create beauty in the most challenging of flowering seasons! You husband has quite a talent behind that lens! He must be a professional! And crepe myrtles, my all-time summer fave . . . it never fails to bloom no matter how hot it is here! Glad you enjoyed the fried green tomatoes post . . . you're so lucky to have had so many delicious things to eat growing up in the South!

Very beautiful Sam. These are peaceful and refreshing to look at. Blessings dear. Catherine
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Sam, flowers do feed the soul! I love black eyed susans:@)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Sam. I especially love the garden along the fence. Not too organized and totally charming.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely time of year isn't it.
ReplyDeleteHello, Sam! It's been a while since I've been active. What a delight to see some of your flowers amidst all your delicious recipes. :)
ReplyDeleteHope the summer is going well for you and Meakin.
i cant believe this is your garden. It is just beautiful and so lovely to see!
ReplyDeleteOh my, how beautiful! It must be a complete joy to stroll through your garden. Thanks for sharing your photographs.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely views, Sam! Your split rail fence is the perfect backdrop to all of your pretty perennials.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to get some tips from your in house photographer. Beautiful! The photo with the bee is priceless. What a beautiful perennial garden you have going on the fence. We have some cone flowers in the perennial garden but they look nothing like yours! beautiful color.
ReplyDeleteYour summer gardens are lovely, Sam. I've always loved the crepe myrtle that grows in the south.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Such a classic East Coat garden - so different from what we have here in California.
