Shells and Roses: August Flowers

just love the lilies in our gardens...

at the beach, the roses are blooming...
while rose hips are ripening...

Roses and Lilacs said...: I still have a few daylilies blooming. In fact, I think I have that one in your photo. It was planted so many years ago, can't recall the name but I like it. Lovely blending of color.

Nan and =^..^= said...: quiltcat,
you are definitely ahead of us for flowers...glad you are keeping cool in this heat wave!

Marnie,
When I look at your blog, I am amazed for we do have many of the same flowers! D is the gardener in our family and I think you and he have a similar eye for plants. I love to photograph and draw them!; August 19, 2009 at 10:10 AM

I'm amazed at the beautiful roses growing along the beach. We don't have anything like that around here. Are they fragrant?; August 20, 2009 at 2:42 PM
