Summertime Through the Shades

A most favored time of mine to have beautiful backyard blooms. With the heat, humidity, and unfriendly weather comes the urge to unwind and seek shelter in the AC. Having planned for peak summer blooms brings a breath of much needed beauty this time of year and creates a backyard vacation destination to lift my spirits. Slender petals on this spider daylily sitting atop 6' bloom stalks.

Fragrant flowers can be found on this ginger lily.

Like tropical honeysuckle to me...
