Last weekend, when we visited the lake, the sunny perennial beds were in full bloom! I thought I'd share some of the beauty with you! It's been so hot and humid this summer...you can see the humidity on my camera lens in the pic below...
The backyard of the house is very shady, with lush hostas and ferns... it's amazing to see the difference in plants...
I am joining Fishtail Cottage's Cottage Flora Thursday
Until next time....hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Linda
Everything looks so lush and beautiful! I love the coneflowers. Are the one with the yellow and brown petals a version of Black-eyed Susans?
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good weekend :)

Florida just doesn't have the flowers you have up north. So beautiful Linda.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers in Montana are amazing.
Hope you are enjoying your week~SueBee
Beautiful shotsof our plants! Love them all- we have lots of hostas too. Do I see water in the background? We live on the Bay too...and I do think plants tend to be more lush by the water- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers!

Lovely Linda!
ReplyDeleteI love the purple coneflower and black eye susans. Are the other ones Indian blankets? I used to have all these flowers at my old home back in Niagara Falls. Miss it.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden!

Just gorgeous, front and back! I love an all green landscape as much as the color, but I come from a very brown state! Haha
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! The hostas are amazing. Your lake house is beautiful. I've been collecting some vintage games to hang on our playroom wall. Mimi
ReplyDeleteOooo, Linda!! These are stunning. The color and variety is great! MUCH better than our dry, brown hills!

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful flowers, Linda! I really miss my hostas, day lilies, purple cone flower and black eyed Susan, so I'm extra glad that you shared yours with us!!!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH, Linda--how totally beautiful these flowers are!!! WOW! I think that they are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend to you, my friend--(((hugs))), Cindy
Just gorgeous Linda. My flowers are just wilted. I removed most of the ones in my baskets, etc. Just waiting on Fall flowers and cool weather at this point. Thanks for sharing your lovelies with us,they are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty...I need some serious help in the flower dept...not my gift that's for sure :) Enjoy! Laurel
ReplyDeleteOh such colorful beauty! I see a cobalt blue something in the background of a couple of photos...is that a bird bath? That blue color really looks lovely and stands out with all the colorful flowers.
ReplyDeleteSo lush and beautiful! Lovely flowers. Black-eyed-susans are a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are lovely, I love the Black Eyed Susans.
ReplyDeleteIt hasn't been very humid here, your weather sounds a lot like what Ontario gets.

Oh it is gorgeous! I think it is just to hot here in Orlando for fields of lush flowers
ReplyDeleteCarol
Lovin' the purple coneflower and pink lily...so summer-ey!
ReplyDeletealso, all of the vintage sports stuff at your lakehouse...especially the baseballs in the terrarium...fun stuff!

Thanks Linda! I'm so glad you liked my doors! :) I can't believe the difference a piece of wood and some crown molding added to each door! It took a few days, but it has added SO much!
ReplyDeleteThe perennials at the lake are so lovely...most of my flowers are looking pretty puny from all this heat!

Linda,
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are sooooooooooo pretty! The colors so bright & cheerful. Things here are so stressed as we are on day 43 tomorrow of over 100 degrees... And no rain!!! I LOVE the collie figurine on the corner shelf in the post before this one. Reminds me of my sweet Reba. Your lake house looks charming. HUGS!

Such a wonderful flower bed and then, the hostas. Such a treat to see.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteThose are so lovely. I wish I were headed to a cabin with beds of such fresh and beautiful flowers instead pf awaiting my visit to Eden Prairie for a root canal...Ugh!!!
Big hugs,
Suz
