Weekend garden shots

 Not in the mood to write yet, but wanted to share some beautiful shots Nora took the other day:

Riot of color in the circle garden: heliopsis, echinacea, lupines, cosmos, and roses and phlox in the background

Charlotte rose -- a yellow David Austin rose; I love the multi-layered complexity of the petals

Dahlia "Fleural" 

Dahlia "Chocolate Karma" -- love the deep mahogany color of the flower and the stems

Helianthus Maximilianii  - "Perennial sunflower" -- love the flowers, but they grow on 8' stalks that are very gangly  and tend to fall over in the first heavy rain

Lily against the sky

More lilies - "Fenice"

Poppy - a "volunteer" who has sown itself in among the red day lilies

Red Daylily
