More Flowers

The bee balm started blooming a couple of weeks ago.  This is a plant that first appeared in my yard when it crept though our neighbor's fence.  I moved a hunk of it to the middle of my yard a couple of years ago, but it isn't really getting enough sun.  Still, I love the color, and it is too tall to move in front into the sun. 

Some itty bitty day lilies have also started to bloom.

These day lilies are less than 10 inches tall.  I'm not sure where I got them, but they make me smile because they get flowers that are really big for the size plant they are.  They also bloom even when it it very hot and dry, and  my other day lilies have give up.  They seem to like this spot a lot, but they are getting  crowded.  I hope I remember to go back and read my flower posts next spring to help me remember which perennials to split.

The porch is moving along. 

They are waiting for the screens to come in.  Also, the windows for the utility room and the utility room floor are on backorder.   One and a half weeks so far without a washer and dryer.  My DH took dirty clothes to the laundermat last weekend, and I did a load at my neighbor's house this week.
