How's the garden doing JB?

I planted over 300 flowers this morning and think there's a nap in my future :-s

They did absolutely spectacular. The pots are brimming with flowers on all sides of the house. Hubbie entered in the local neighbourhood in bloom contest for best bloomin yard.

I'd missed that post so thanks for pointing it out. My favorites are the lillies but then I have a weakness for stargazer lillies. In fact there's a couple dozen in bloom on my dining room table right now. :D

I've been remiss in keeping this updated, but after 4 months of ailing and recuperating I FINALLY got around to shooting the Lilies before they were all gone.

Enjoy them, starting off with some Phlox by the side door:
