Tomorrow summer officially begins.
Do you suppose my Lilacs have their eyes on the calendar, too?

| Long Live the Lupines! |
Stunning Lilies, transplanted from the indoor garden and, so far, coping well with our chilly nights.

Progressing past the complaint stage, mostly just curious, I'm kind of enjoying this crushed together season, where Lupines and Tulips are gettin' bizzy at the same darn time.
Mountain Lilac Legacy
When properly selected, Lilacs regularly outlive the gardener who plants them. And, they love, love, love the mountains.

Your lilacs are striking. I only have an old fashioned purple and a white one. I think the white one drowned this spring. sigh~~
ReplyDeletePshh. Plain old grass is no fun. You're neighbor should be thanking you for the flowers volunteering in his yard. Our grass has little Johny jump ups, pasque, and violets fighting with it :D
ReplyDeleteBe very careful with the Dame's rocket. I've been following Utah Native Plant Society emails all week about how this flower is becoming invasive and they are seeking to have it listed as such soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate. Your lilacs are just gorgeous! It looks like your garden is loving the warmer weather and blooming so pretty. I adore your Lupines and the yellow alyssum is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat President Grevy is going on my list. gorgeous! You almost threw me with those lilies blooming alongside the lilacs.
ReplyDeleteYou do have an unusual variety of plants blooming at once, especially at this time of year. They're all beautiful. Your neighbor should be pleased to have a small invasion of purple flowers.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a very strange gardening year indeed! I am starting to think the whole summer will be cooler than normal. Of course, if that means more days in the 80's and less in the 100's then, by all means, carry on!
ReplyDeleteIt is a odd season, there are still the rare tulips hanging on in cooler sections.
ReplyDeleteLilacs still blooming here also.
But that's a good thing.

Enjoy summer!!! What an amazing flowers!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous blooms!
ReplyDeleteSummer is grand, Kate! Let's enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteThis has been a strange year for bloom times in my garden, too. But tulips and lilacs in June?? They're two of my favorites, though, and I'd be thrilled to have them blooming right now, too. Your lilacs are so beautiful; your garden must smell heavenly right now.
ReplyDeleteGood Article
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you know how hard I cracked up when I read your 12,000-foot popular!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to summer! Your garden is so gorgeous and full of color! I'm not monocromatic, but you've got more color than me!
Your lilacs and lupines look amazing! Your neighbor must be a grinch not to like Dame's Rocket.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!!!
ReplyDelete"Popular at 12,000 feet altitude

Your flowers are just strikingly awesome!

ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smile. One of my brother in laws lives in Breckenridge. He snowboards, but not in July, that I know of. LOL I know they don't have much of a growing season.
Your blooms are quite lovely! I keep trying to grow lupines, but have only had one do well for a few years before it gave up.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Kate girl this was lovely and I have to prune my lilac soon ! I only have the one bicolor but it is pretty .. I would love more for that amazing scent .. yours are gorgeous !
ReplyDeleteI don't know where my lupines went .. now that is going to make me wonder what the heck happened to them !!
Halloween is 128 days away girl !!!!
Joy wink wink
Wow! Love your lilacs, especially the purply/blue ones... I don't have any lilacs in this garden and have to get at least one started! Your photos are beautiful and so is the Park City area. I look forward to learning more about high altitude gardening!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, The lilacs are gorgeous. Ignore that crabby neighbour. Dame's Rockets are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finally getting to summer!
