...the blooming is abundant! We have excessive heat warnings in Seattle for the next four days. I wanted to capture a few blossom photos before everything wilted away. You are looking at an Orienpet lily with 7 blossoms/buds on one stem and 5 on the other. They smell so incredible, especially when getting an early morning spray of water. Also in the slide show are blooming Hen and Chicks, which love the heat of the rockery, Russian Sage which is a favorite with bees, and a Red Mullein (at least I think that is what it is) with blooms shaped a bit like exotic bird beaks.

Very nice! Are the hen's and chicks in the front? I have one that is growing a "stalk" like thing, looks funny:) Is that the bloom? I love the Russian Sage too! I put the poppy seeds in the ground today, not sure what will happen? Actually I broke them open and crumbled them in the dirt, will that work? Lisa
Oh yes, the 'stalk like thing'. You are so very polite, sister dear! It looks like a 'dick'. But the blooms change all that. It is the 4th photo in the slide show just before the Russian Sage which I know is familiar to you.
Your yard looks even more beautiful than when we were there.
