We’re off to Malvern, Pennsylvania, with Carla Z. Mudry today.
Midsummer has hit my garden, and I am in love with the riot of texture, colors, and scent. It is a dizzying array and so soul-satisfying to me. The summer colors are amazing, and it makes all of the digging, weeding, planting, and trimming worth it just to look around at what is growing!
I also now have a greenhouse. My new greenhouse is full of chili peppers I grew from seed. I love it. It’s just a small one, but it’s the perfect size for me to play in!
But good old-fashioned Echinacea purpurea (Zones 3–9) is always pretty great too, and much loved by a wide range of pollinators.
Literally thousands of new daylily hybrids are introduced each year, in an ever expanding range of colors and patterns. This soft lavender is particularly beautiful.

Gorgeous flowers! And I am covetous of that greenhouse…
The day lilies are gorgeous and I also love them. This year the construction around me has caused the deer to change path a little. I actually got to enjoy some day lilies before a resident ground hog did his thing. Cone flowers are a go to as they are pretty much indestructible. I enjoy green houses vicariously and have not given up...thanks for showing yours.
If you type Carla's name in the search bar, you can find some other submissions of hers. As usual, everything is lovely.
Ha ha... "Hippies Use Side Door", I wish there were still some around.
Love the flower photos and the greenhouse!
If you know the name of your pale lavender Day Lily please let me know! Just the shade I wanted (and didn't get when I ordered).
Beautiful colors and textures - a very happy place!
What a happy looking garden! My favorite is the red and yellow daylily, especially in contrast with the white hydrangea and background of green leaves.
