Morning Glory, Bicolor Day Lily, Magic Sunrise Dahlia, Black Eyed Susans and Unusual Zinnia

Happy floral Friday and welcome to "this week in my Maryland garden!" The morning glories are blooming nicely and their white color seems cooling in the summer heat.

I love this striking deep red and bright yellow bicolor day lily.

And I'm thrilled that our magic sunrise dahlias finally started blooming this week. Can you see the bee in the upper left hand corner? The bees are happy too.

The black eyed Susans have been blooming for a few weeks but something is chewing on their petals so it's hard to find nice fresh ones for photos. But from a distance they look great.

And in the midst of our giant zinnias we have this one unusually shaped zinnia. The whole plant has this type of flower. I thought it was neat. Yesterday a visitor noticed it and said it looked "so perfect it doesn't look real." The giant zinnias are still my favorite but this is a pleasant surprise.

Thank you for joining me on this week's mini garden tour. Which photo did you like best? What kind of summer fun are you having? May God bless you this summer and always!

Pretty Flowers & Wild Insects: This Week In My Maryland Garden

Moths party on echinacea plants
The moths and bees were all over our giant echinacea (coneflower) when I walked around the yard for this week's Maryland garden flower photo shoot.
Black eyed Susans attract bees
I think that's a bee enjoying our first black eyed Susan bloom of the year.


 A tattered moth enjoys one of our marigold flowers.

 This orange echinacea (coneflower) is the newest addition to our garden.

 I think these pretty white flowers are morning glories. They're vining up one of our rose bushes.

This red and yellow day lily brightens our front yard.

Hope you enjoyed this week's photographic garden tour. May God bless you this summer and always!

Which was your favorite photo this week? What are your favorite summer flowers? What's blooming in your area?
