So many different colors...
These lilies are so fragrant.
I transplanted a bunch of them last fall and to my surprise, they came back!!!
The butterfly bush near our pool smells exactly like fresh honeycomb. I love walking under it...except there are so many bees buzzing around it. Yes this hydrangea really is that color. I tried growing a pink hydrangea in Troutdale, but it turned back to blue...there is something in the soil out here that plants just thrive on.

Your flowers are gorgeous!
You do not normally have to worry about bees, most of them are pretty peace loving. It is the wasps, hornets and yellow jackets that will sting your for no reason; I think that the yellow jackets are the worst.
I work around the bees most every day and they never bother me at all.
I have had lots of humming birds buzzing around me as I am working out in the garden and sometimes when I sit down to rest they sit up in the trees and chirp at me.
Thanks Sue!
Dad,
What do your humming birds eat/drink from your yard? Do you have one of those special feeders?
I got a great photo today of Alexis holding a small butterfly. I'll post it tomorrow.
We have humming bird feeders, but with all of our ants I have not use it in several years.
The humming birds are usually around the fuchsia in the front yard. In fact last week I was walking along the east side of our house when I saw one by the fuchsia at the front corner of the house. I stopped and stood still and it was only about three feet in front of my face.
I have also seen them in one of the walnut trees, just kind of sitting there, I think waiting for me to leave.
I have also seen them almost every day in the big rose garden sometimes on the rose flowers and sometimes in some of the other flowers that are there.
I have also seen them sitting in the ash tree and the apple tree in the back yard usually chirping at me.
One day while I was edging the front flower bed by the house, I had four or five of then buzzing around my head; I think that they wanted me to move away from the hardy fuchsia.
How is that for a short answer made long?
