My calla lilies are blooming!  Some of my favorite flowers!


Zantedeschia 'Picasso'


Zantedeschia 'Flame'

Zantedeschia ''Dubai Nights'








 

Digitalis ambigua (Yellow Foxglove) yellow tubular flowers with brown freckles make a light and pretty spot in the garden.



 



Stokesia laevis 'Divinity' (Stokes' aster) has a vigorous compact growth habit.  Numerous and long-lasting white flowers with a hint of yellow in the center mature to white.  It features fluffy flowers each with notched rays surrounding a pincushion center of feathery disk florets.

 Silene dioica 'Valley High' (Red Campion) is an edging or rock garden perennial.  The slightly sticky flower stems have led to the common name "Catchfly."  Clusters of small magenta-pink flowers are a pleasing accent in late spring.






 Spigelia marilandica 'Little Redhead' (Indian Pink) features upright, sturdy stems topped with bright red, tubular flowers with bright yellow interiors which flare at the top to form five pointed lobes (a yellow star).   The main bloom period is early summer with some sporadic reblooming possible into fall.  Highly attractive to hummingbirds!

Thymus herba-barona (Caraway Thyme)  is a low-growing, creeping, woody shrub that may be used as an ornamental groundcover or culinary herb.  The bees love it!







I think I enjoy my Amaryllis more in the garden than I do in the house during the holiday season.

 Cornus controversa 'June Snow' (commonly called Giant Dogwood) is a deciduous flowering tree.  In late spring creamy white flowers form into clusters and are held above the leaves.  Horizontal branches appear to be layered.  Blooms give rise to blue/black berries which the songbirds enjoy.  In the fall, the leaves turn an orange to red color before they are shed.
