This morning in the front yard garden I found lots of colorful surprises! I spent time early watering everything! It has been hot the last few days"90ish".



The orange lily is over 5 feet tall! Pretty amazing.



The pink astillbe is fluffy and beautiful. I can't wait to see it when the flowers are all the way open.












It seems like this time of year I get distracted by the goings on in the garden. I am so drawn to the colors and textures. I get sucked into the outdoor environment.

Watching gardeners label their plants
I vow with all beings
to practice the old horticulture
and let the plants identify me.
