Shielding the gazebo along with the Black Knight buddleia.
Stargazer lilies are in full blossom. The fragrance intoxicating.
Love the way they bring both colour and fragrance to the patio table area.....
This one is supposed to be Stargazer but is lighter still it is lovely.
Hanging basket filling out with pink and purple wave .
Buddleia is positioned close to the patio table gazebo area makes it easier to appreciate the rich colour and an up close view of the monarch butterflies it draws.I was lucky enough to capture a few photos of this one filling up on nectar...
Time to sit back with a tall iced glass of lemon tea and enjoy the garden..

Rosemary, Your stargazers are just fantastic! They are my favorite lily, since their beauty is not only in their form and color but also their fragrance!
Flowers are gorgeous Mom!
Hi Rosemary,
Great idea for you to position the Buddleia where you can appreciate all the butterflies. I did the same with mine, putting it right beside the deck. Mine is not yet blooming. When it does, I love to watch the butterflies and an occasional humming bird.
What a great idea to use sunflowers for height until the shrubs grow high enough. They look so pretty.
I love this time of year, the flowers are just breathtaking! Since you can't have a fence, I think you chose well with the sunflowers. I'm in the same part of Canada as you are I suspect, as we had the same awful cold spring, I thought summer would never come. Well, it sure did as soon as July started, and hasn't let up yet, lol! the flowers love it though don't they?

Hi from Granny Goodwitch. Here are the directions for the mirror image butterfly card If you need them.
You stamp (and emboss if you want) the picture twice. One with red on white and one with white on red. (Or whatever color you want.) You cut them each in half an glue them down with opposite colors. So actually you get two cards out of this.

Amazing Stargazers! You have a lot of bloomin' going on! Jean

Rosemary, It has been too hot to do much work in the garden! Finally today there is some rain. I hope my butterfly bush will eventually attract butterflies are beautiful as the ones in your pictures. I can't believe the height on that sunflower in the opening shot. They do get tall don't they! Your lilies are stunning.I bet the scent is heavenly. I am a bit disappointed with mine this year. Enjoy that iced tea!
