July 4th In The Garden

A few images from the garden today.  Note that this was the first day for blackberries!  The weather this last couple weeks, including today - perfect!  In the 70s, sunny or partly so, breezy at times.  Compared to last year, this is unbelievably comfortable!!

Had this in a pot for 2 years before it bloomed!


Supposed to be the same daylilly type, but they don't really look it.  Just started blooming after being planted in May.


First blackberry!  Yum!

These are in a pot with a hellebore. Didn't bloom at all last year. Maybe too hot!  This year so much better!!
