Cottage Garden In July

The pastel pallet of the spring cottage garden has faded to the hot colors of summer.

Orange and yellow daylilies, red bee balm, yellow loosestrife have replaced the iris, geraniums and lupine.
The daisy flea bane is still blooming and provides a nice backdrop to the other flowers no matter the pallet.


The exception to summer's hot colors, is this rose. This is a fairy rose with tiny pink flowers.

Soon new plants will bloom and the pallet will change again.
