Welcome to
The Maple Hill Hop,
where we share what's happening outside our doors.
With the veggie garden all but asleep,
we focus on the lovely gift of blooms that enjoy the sweltering summer heat.
This is the gloriosa daisy
and it's magnificent.
What a vision they are in the morning
when the birds are singing and it's the perfect time for a stroll
through the garden.
This stunner is one of the best attractors
of bees and butterflies alike.
These petite beacons of cheer
grace the footpath out back.
With its drought tolerant nature,
the sporadic rain we've been getting is enough to keep it happy.
As they waken in the early hours,
the petals unfurl like the unleashing of a ribbon on a gift.
An abundance of color is added to any spot in the garden.
What a welcoming sight.
The blooms should stick around for the entire summer
and return next year to this gardener's delight.
Cutting the flowers to enjoy inside
only encourages it to repeat the process.
So glad they are back in our garden.
What's going on outside where you are?
Man, those are some pretty flowers!! I may need to add them to our garden.

ReplyDeleteSorry you're in the "hot" part of the summer, but that's just time to rest up for the next round (lucky you!)
Enjoy the week
Can't have the fall planting without the heat of the summer, right? Can't wait to see what you're growing!
DeleteI like rudbeckias and echinacheas - strong lasting color and blooms.
