June Blooms
Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night. ~Rainer Maria Rilke
Ooo I can see you have lots of colourful flowers and shrubs. Aren't they just marvelous, coping with all the weather can throw at them and still looking wonderful!
Just beautiful Jo. It's been so hot here...triple digits for most of the last two weeks and then mid to high 90's for the rest of it here in Kansas. It's been a struggle to keep the new lawn and gardens going and then the veggie garden. The rest of the lawns and pastures have to fend for themselves. Mowing is a joke...all you can see when I'm done is the whites of my eyes and my teeth if I dare smile! Our electric bill is going to be through the roof for the next couple of months I'm afraid. Oh well...nothing to be done about it. Enjoy your beautiful lush gardens Jo. Maura :)

What an imaginative quotation and delightful joy-joy colors in the many flowers!
Hugs!
It's a good thing that the riot of colors has no audio feed! :-)
Nice plants and nice photo's too.
Your flowers look like the Summer season, warm and colorful.

The others I have seen before, but the green blossom is really beautiful ...
Excellent series. I can almost smell the blooms.

I love the look of your porch and garden beyond, and these are such pretty flowers you'e shared. Thanks Jo. Have a great weekend!
What pretty flowers! Seems like it is a good summer for blooms this year.
Yep, sure glad we can't hear all that color!
Lovely, vivid photos. Good work!
What fantastic words - so true. I love your fabulous hibiscus - they're so wonderfully bombastic.
