Today we’re taking a return trip to Carla’s garden in Malvern, Pennsylvania. She’s shared her garden with us before (Midspring in Carla’s Garden and Carla’s Woodland Garden), and today we’re enjoying the garden as it enters midsummer, when, as Carla puts it, “suddenly it is all daylilies and hydrangeas!”
An exquisite daylily (Hemerocallis hybrid, Zones 4–9), with blooms that are an unusual combination of lavender and peach.

You take stunning pictures of beautiful subjects, Carla. I envy your success with the hydrangea variety 'Pistachio'. I eagerly bought one a few years ago and it didn't take it long for it to wave the white flag of surrender and die off when faced with my southeast summer heat and humidity. Your photo reminded me of why I was so hoping it would thrive. The blooms have such interesting coloration. Your lavender and peach daylily is an exceptional beauty.
Oh my - so much beauty to take in! That foxglove is spectacular. My day lilies here in the Charlotte area are all finished except for Stella d'Ora. My hydrangeas, although planted where they are protected from the worst of the afternoon sun, are still blooming but showing signs of fatigue. It's just been so terribly hot for the past 2 weeks. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous gardens.
Your flower portraits are lovely. I was especially taken with the peach and violet day lily and the foxglove. Thanks for sharing!
Carla - I enjoyed looking at your plant portraits. Thanks!
Oh so true- the way you described midsummer, as “suddenly it is all daylilies and hydrangeas!”.
Sure wish I knew what that apricot and lavender daylily was called...just when I told myself I had enough daylilies you had to go and tempt me with your fabulous photo!
